Hellene in the Arch (Cities of Fantasy Series #1)
Synopsis
Like the vibrant and decorative symbol used by French royalties, Iris Ralene is living her life like a princess. Young, beautiful and free, who already has everything until it all faded when her Father died. It was not long enough when she was bombarded with another startling news that their business will be handed out to her Father's trusted trainee.
Their story began into a never ending chase. A simple chase that turned into a hurtful promise.
The problem about people who get hurt because of falling in love is the confusion of not really knowing what they actually feel.
If it is love, then it shouldn't ask for return. But then, do we just let the person we love shove us away? Is unrequited and martyr love just fine?
If it is love, then it should not ask for approval. And that there shouldn't be a right timing to confess for it.
So how? How will we recognize if it's actually love?

KILL ME
When obsession crosses the line, it's not always hate that follows, sometimes, it's love in its most dangerous form. Anaya has always been fragile. Soft-hearted, quiet, and full of hidden pain. Her past is something she never speaks about, but it lives inside her every day. The trauma, the memories, the nightmares, they have shaped her into someone who doesn't laugh like she used to, doesn't trust like she once could. And the one person who was her entire world in childhood... became the reason for her deepest wounds. Arhem Khan. Five years older. Her first love. Her first heartbreak. And the only one who ever truly saw her, yet also the one who unknowingly became part of her pain.

Maybe her absence will be a gift. But fate brings Arhem back. He's changed.

And when the unexpected happens on her wedding day, Arhem makes a bold move that changes everything. He replaces the groom. Now Anaya is forced to live in a deal she never wanted, married to the man she tried so hard to forget, far from her family, carrying her trauma into a new home that doesn't feel like hers.

Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.Complete
