When Eveny is taken back to the Seelie Court, the last thing she wants is the throne her mother sat upon. Unfortunately for her, her participation in the Trials is required and she's smart enough to know that she's nothing more than cheap entertainment for the fae nobles. 

If not for the man assigned to be her bodyguard, she may have risked running away. Yet, Hawke has no intentions of letting her go, especially when his life is on the line. He can't ignore the fact that she stirs something in him either, but she's his to guard, nothing more. 

Two halfbreeds in a world of purity are bound to cause trouble. Especially when tempersand passions burn this hot.

"I fear I still do not have a name to match the beauty before me." He began. "Must that always be the only thing you wish to know?" She sighed heavily, looking over to her right where the king and queen sat on their thrones, watching the couple with hopeful stares. Two fingers under her chin brought her attention back to him and despite the mask blocking her view of his brow, she could see the spark of fire in his eyes, "I have plenty of time to know you, my love." He smirked, "as I said, I tend to take the things I want." "You can not steal a woman." Katerina spoke confidently, "Her heart may be locked away." Prince Alexander lowered his lips to the shell of her ear, each syllable tickling her skin, "Tell me where to find it then." ~•~•~ After the death of the queen, the king, overcome by sadness, begins to lust after his own daughter who is an exact replica of her mother. He plans to marry her but she manages to stall the wedding long enough to be able to escape. After escaping from her home and her grotesquely deranged father with three dresses and a cloak made of every pelt in the royal forest, she is lost. Taking refuge in a hollow tree she doesn't realize she has wandered into another King's territory... Warning: When the story begins a disturbing theme of potential or suggested sexual assault/abuse is mentioned, but this is not the main or entire plot of the story.

When in order to save her father, she becomes the unwilling prisoner of a cursed beast, the running of the kingdom becomes even less important to her. Until she finds herself entangled in rogue politics and magic use. Because the Beast is guilty of more than misuse of magic in a kingdom that has expressly forbidden it. He holds a secret that could be the undoing of the entire country. And for Kat, knowledge opens a door to a life where she is so much more than just another bystander. A life she never thought could be. 🥀 Book 1 of the Fairy's Gambit series *Beauty and the Beast retelling* Fantastic cover by @pennywithaney

The deep by DecayingGodess
12 parts Ongoing Mature
A young woman, her past shrouded in shadows, teeters on the brink of oblivion, by her own hand. Captivating but challenging, she draws others in with an irresistible pull. Unafraid to unleash her sharp tongue like a deadly blade or use her claws, honed to perfection. She emanates a chilling aura that could freeze one's very soul, her eyes infused with the cunning of a fox. Though she has many twisted secrets and desires, she can not face them alone, in order to rise from the ashes, she must let go of any inhibitions, give herself completely to the temptations, and accept what fate has bestowed upon her. Especially if fate is wrapped up in such a sinful devastatingly gorgeous package. He is a wealthy surgeon concealing a darkness beneath his unearthly beauty. He exudes both rugged strength and gentle kindness, yet what he hides behind that meticulously constructed mask, is the inner demon, a beast that has an insatiable lust for desire and pleasure, and to claim what he perceives to belong to him. He is a downright psychopath underneath his carefully curated facade of caring protector. His protection is obsessive in its truest form, and he must embrace it no matter the cost. It's as if she had been plucked from the depths of hell to test him, unraveling the intricately woven veil he uses to shield himself. And perhaps he is exactly what she needs to bury her tumultuous past, and step in to her own era of psychotic dark goddess energy, even if only for a fleeting moment. Both carry unsettling truths within them and as they are thrust together in unavoidable proximity amidst spicy themes of seduction, their facades will begin to crumble. The outcome hangs precariously between mutual destruction or obliterating anyone who dares come between their enigmatic bond.

Just to be clear on the rules, you have to do what I ask you to whenever you're told to, and whatever the thing is." That's a risky game. I don't like to agree to something when I don't really know what it is. What the hell are you getting yourself into Emma? "What kind of a favor?" "That does not concern you just yet. Just remember that your little friend is almost out if time. August is near, and if you deny me my request, I'll kill that boyfriend of yours." he threatened. "And if I agree to this, when will you send me to the other realm?" "Any day next week. You choose." "OK. Deal." He put his hand out and I shook it. Two worlds One girl A mystery Dark got darker...
