Annalise Ruth, the infamous bastard daughter of the late Lord Elliot Leroux. 

Impossibly criticized by the Kingdom of Cordelia, despite her family's grand reputation with the social Ton and close friendship with His Royal Majesty, King Roland II. 

The Gala of The Jewels is quickly approaching, an enchanted event hosted by King Roland himself. Noble families are invited to a winter stay at the Palace Cordelia, fabricated to give the young ladies and gentlemen of the Ton a chance to find their perfect matches.  

Lady Lydia, Annalise's posied stepmother is determined to find the most esteemed match for her eldest daughter Florence, the Ton's most eligible young lady. 

And if lucky enough, a respectable husband for her late husband's bastard daughter. 

For the first time in ages, the Crown Prince of Cordelia has returned home for the decored Gala. And with his nineteenth birthday soon coming, His Majesty demands that his son find a respected young lady to be his princess.

King Roland and Lady Lydia think Lady Florence is the perfect choice. 

But perhaps one cruelly-fated first meeting and the dazzling gaze of the headstrong bastard Leroux daughter, Annalise Ruth, will keep the Crown Prince rather deeply intrigued.

As Sutherland's new king, Emory Davercher faces countless challenges, but nothing as excruciating and frustrating as his mysterious, eccentric betrothed. *** When King Emory of Sutherland receives news that his betrothed is on her way to Sutherland, he sends her away before even laying eyes on the woman he has no intention of marrying. Months later, after a narrow escape from an assassination, he flees to his childhood home where he discovers a massive problem. Due to an unfortunate mishap, his betrothed has not left Sutherland. She's been in his secret estate all along. Grand Princess Florence Paulet of Gavaria and her cousin, Lucy, thinks her arrival in Sutherland will be easy. She doesn't expect that her betrothed, King Emory of Sutherland, will send her straight to an empty estate on an island where they fend for themselves for months. And when he finally shows up, he has the audacity to fool her by introducing himself as someone else. After having killed dozens of chickens with her bare hands to stay alive, and with lying as her ultimate weapon for survival since she left Gavaria, what else can an annoyed, blithe, and audacious Florence do? Of course, she has to return the favor and make him twice the fool. He thinks he's fooling her, and she finds fun knowing it's the other way around. As the harsh winter traps them in the estate, lies, little accidents, and undeniable attraction draw them together stronger than the snowstorm. But not as much as Florence's true reasons for leaving Gavaria, which are also making their way to Sutherland.

#🏆 Awarded 1st place in the Historical Category of The Aureus Awards. In the enchanting kingdom of Veridonia, where magic flows through every part of daily life, traditions and ancient spells hold a quiet power over the realm. Lady Adeline Wycliffe, the adventurous and spirited daughter of Viscount Wycliffe, dreams of a life unfettered by noble expectations. With a sharp mind, a kind heart, and a secret gift for magic, she yearns to explore the world beyond the rigid walls of nobility. But her aspirations come to an abrupt halt when her family arranges her marriage to the enigmatic Duke of Wintermere, a man she's heard of only in whispers. Duke Lucien Valenhart is known for his honor, his strategic brilliance, and the aura of winter that seems to follow him. Steadfast in duty but guarded at heart, Lucien sees marriage as a necessity, a way to strengthen alliances. Love, to him, is a luxury he cannot afford. Bound by duty but brought together by circumstance, Adeline and Lucien find themselves navigating the grandeur of court life and the quiet magic that fills the Duke's estate. Facing unexpected dangers, enchanting mysteries, and the warmth of small, shared moments, they begin to see each other in a new light. But to truly find one another, they must first let down their walls and open their guarded hearts.
