King Henry by ShellyWritesBooks

Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance.

The Alpha King by roseyzoa

Rogues and Royals never mixed. It was only normal in our world ever since a rogue attack killed the only daughter of the Royal family. We'd been tortured for years, hiding in small villages, barely surviving off of what we had and fearing the day the royal guards would find our hideouts to commit mass murder, or take us as servants to the royal family. The royal family was run by nothing but cold hearts and merciless hands. I, Everleigh Holloway, wanted nothing to do with those murderers hiding behind gold platters and shiny jewels. But life isn't fair. And when your village is raided by the royal guards, you can only hope your death is a quick one. But one glance, one scent, and my life turned around and hit me on the back of the head. A rogue, mated to the crowned King Nikolas Castellano II. You could only laugh at it. A man with no humanity in his eyes, no life, no feelings, nothing. I was just another spawn in his game of chess, because that's how The Alpha King saw rogues, it's how they all saw us. A mere game.

A deal is negotiated. All girls from 19-21 who live in the U.S.A must register to enter a trial period in the palace in England, competing for the Prince's heart.

But she has no desire to leave her family and home country, and certainly no desire to win the heart of a man she's never even met before. But over the months she encounters crazed girls certain of their right to Britain's throne, a Prince she can't seem to shake from her thoughts, friends to last a lifetime, a rather unpleasant brother, a charming cousin, secrets and, quite possibly, even love thrown into the chaotic mix ... ... But will she get her fairytale ending? And with whom ... Best Rankings: #1 featurethis #1 theselection #1 royal #1 queen # 2 selection
