18 adult angst contemporary nà prince romance royal royalty sliceoflife university

I never wanted to be splashed across the front pages of newspapers, or have a barrage of hungry paparazzi behind every move I make. I never wanted to be in spotlight, most of all, never wanted red spray paint of X's placed across my face in an angry fangirl's bedroom.

Aaron Herrington came like a hurricane, obstructing everything in his path, to intervene with me and mine, just so he could have his way. 

There isn't supposed to be a happy-ending to what we have. Only happy-for-now exists when you always have reporters hounding your private and picking apart your life.

My love for Aaron is all but simple, and I don't think I could ever be happy with a for-now mentality. Even when my devilish prince tells me it will all be okay, I know it won't. 

Lia Russo was never supposed to be written in the headlines alongside the name of Crown Prince Aaron Herrington, even when I'd give my all to be beside him, because my all could never be enough.

A Tangled Web of Truth | Complete (ONC 2021 Shortlister) by authorelizasolares

[Shortlist | Ambassadors Pick] Alicia DuMont is telling the truth. Unless you count lies of omission, which she decidedly does not. Twenty-four and finally standing on her own two feet as a hairstylist, she is surprised when she and her friends receive an invitation to the prince's Coming-of-Age Masked Ball. Knowing they are right out of the running for marriage to the prince won't stop them from having a little fun, though! Prince Alejandro has a truth he can't share: his country is weaker than it seems. At nearly twenty-one, his dream of marrying for love is tied up in somehow falling for a down-to-earth woman who can strengthen the monarchy. Hoping his Coming-of-Age Ball will throw such a girl into his path, he's determined to make the most of it. And when he meets the mysterious Alicia, he is immediately drawn to her. When Alicia and Alejandro decide to begin a relationship, royal conventions throw them straight into an engagement. They may be the epitome of poise and grace in public, but behind the scenes questions of Alicia's suitability mix with the threat of national unrest. Every day their connection grows deeper, but if they can't find a way to quiet the growing discontent, they risk losing not only their relationship but also their country. *** This story was written for the ONC 2021 based on prompt #87.

"Aurora the Saga Part I" **"Rising from the Ashes of Dawn"** Rose's life has been shaped by a series of harrowing trials, from childhood abuse to the sudden loss of her loved ones. With unwavering courage, she faces every challenge and rises anew like a phoenix from the ashes. Seeking help for her troubled mind, she meets the compassionate Dr. Kashif, a renowned neuropsychologist, and one of the country's finest neurosurgeons. Their connection sparks a journey of healing and unexpected love. As Rose delves deeper into Dr. Kashif's world, she encounters the O'Laughlin family and forms an instant bond with Judith, the matriarch. However, a passionate and possessive attraction to Louise, Judith's eldest son, brings back painful memories and forces Rose to confront her past. Dr. Kashif becomes a pillar of support, guiding Rose through her panic attacks and helping her differentiate between being in love and being loved. Their blossoming relationship faces a devastating turn when a tragic accident claims the lives of the O'Laughlins and leaves Dr. Kashif gravely injured. His final wish is to marry Rose and donate his heart to Yazar, another survivor. Four years later, Yazar, suffering from retrograde amnesia, is inexplicably drawn to Rose when he sees her at Dr. Kashif's family restaurant. As Rose's psychologist, she tasks him with reading her life journals alongside Eden, now known as Shein. The time spent together brings Yazar and Shein closer, creating a complicated love triangle. As Yazar uncovers the secrets of Rose's past and his own feelings, he is torn between his newfound love for Shein and the magnetic pull he feels towards Rose. "Rising from the Ashes" is a tale of love, loss, and the healing power of understanding, set against the backdrop of the holiday season.

Disaster-in-Waiting NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY ON AMAZON by ElleMThomas

WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"

Eager to get back to his life of indulgence, he heads north. Theo intends to squash the rebellion through whatever means necessary. Then he meets the rebellion's leader. She's mysterious and beautiful, even if her face is hidden behind an ornate mask. He wants to know who she is, what makes her smile, and why she won't give in to his demands. But perhaps doing things on her terms is the way to get what he wants. Perhaps he might just find that he cares. Perhaps he was wrong, and change is inevitable. Perhaps he might become the prince he's spent his life avoiding. Perhaps, it will all be worth it.

King Me by Kweehnn

Sometimes things happen to us that we can't control. Sometimes we fight back. Sometimes it doesn't work and the consequences are more than we bargained for. We fall in love with people we shouldn't, go back to people we shouldn't. Make excuses for things that we shouldn't. Fight and manipulate those around us, for what? For the power and the glory. It's the year 3XXX and Royalty and politics just got a little more interesting. * This story contains many triggering events please don't read if you feel it may have a negative affect on you*

Throne of the unwanted bride by thewritteravni

"She was never supposed to be mine, yet now she holds the key to a heart I never knew I had." "In a world where power rules, she's the one force I can't control, but maybe, that's what I need most." "I came here to escape a life I never wanted, but now, trapped in a marriage I never chose, I'm beginning to see a side of him I never imagined." "He's a tyrant, yet in his presence, I find myself questioning everything I thought I knew about hate-and love." "She came as a prisoner, but found herself freed in the presence of a king she never understood." "A tyrant king, a forced marriage, and a love that defies everything-will hatred turn to passion, or will duty destroy them both?"
