Eighteen-year-old Duke Alexis Hearst is many things; heir to his father's legacy, fiance of the beautiful Duchess Gracelyn, and the bearer of all the world's eyes. At least, that's what it feels like to him. If the crushing expectations of his nobility aren't enough, Alex must also harbor a deadly secret. Despite his arranged marriage to the Duchess, he is in love with someone else- Lord Lucas of Gurdinn.
Keeping secrets from everyone he knows (including himself), Alex's lies catch up to him in a catastrophic fallout that leaves him more uncertain about his future than ever before. And the eyes of the world? They simply stand by to watch as his entire life collapses into irreparable ruins. (Of course, one must ask the question; isn't it better that way?)

The King's Courtier
This story is a romantic fantasy set in the future. Keep in mind each chapter is 10 page long. In the year 2200, the world is no longer ruled by presidents or individual governments. The entire globe is ruled by a single immortal king - King Sulfur. Continents are now "categories" separating people in terms of talent. Aurelia, the protagonist, is apart of the beauty category. Although Elexia is a world in which everyone is satisfied, those in the beauty and slavery categories still face oppression. Those in her category are to become escorts and prostitutes when they're of age, not given an alternative choice in contrast to those in every other category. Aurelia was born to become the king's personal escort despite her impeccable talents in each category and when she was taken to the castle, she kept true to herself and held on to her sharp tongue. She soon realized that the castle hides many secrets. She was met with the anonymous eight who were King Sulfur's closest friends. No one knew their true purpose and looks beyond the castle's court because the castle's magic would erase everyone who stepped out's memory of them. The two strongest of the eight turn out to be the main love interests of Aurelia. While she tries to resolve her unrequited feelings for a man she formerly despised, she realizes that she has grown attached to the king. She simultaneously wrestles feelings for her old best friend and tries to discover with whom her heart truly lies. TW: oppression, sexism, vulgar language and scenes. Mature content and intimate scenes present.
