In an age where destiny was written in the stars and the paths of lovers were often dictated by the whims of kings, there existed a tale of enduring passion and defiance. This is the story of Lady Isolde and Sir Tristan, whose love blossomed in the heart of a kingdom rife with political intrigue and ancient traditions.

Set against the backdrop of the Silk Road, a vibrant tapestry of cultures and mysteries, our tale unfolds. Lady Isolde, a noblewoman of unparalleled beauty and intelligence, finds herself caught in the web of political alliances, betrothed against her will to a powerful duke. In the shadowed halls of her father's castle and the sun-kissed pathways of bustling markets, she yearns for a life where choice, not obligation, dictates her fate.

Enter Sir Tristan, a knight of legendary prowess, whose heart beats not for glory in battle but for the whispers of forbidden love. His loyalty to his lord is unwavering, yet his soul is stirred by the fiery spirit and grace of Lady Isolde. In her eyes, he finds not just a kindred spirit, but a shared dream of a future where love reigns supreme over duty and social bounds.

As their clandestine romance unfolds, the lovers find themselves entangled in a dangerous game of power and rebellion. Their love, a beacon in the darkness of political machinations, threatens to upset the delicate balance of power in a land where ancient customs and loyalties reign supreme.

Venus Williams had everything most could only dream of-a life of privilege, sophistication, and the kind of effortless success that came from never having to struggle. At Burbington High, she was untouchable, a student of high society, reigning supreme as Student President. Politics, manipulation, and control were her weapons, and she wielded them with precision. But there was one thing she had never known: the true depth of love or pleasure, and, perhaps more crucially, the harsh sting of pain. Her life was a perfect, curated world, until she found herself stuck in the most unlikely of places-a tight corner, humiliated and sneered at by none other than Frank Harris, the school's janitor. The encounter was unexpected, and frankly, beneath her. Venus wasn't used to being challenged, let alone being taken down a peg by someone like him. Frank Harris had seen the worst life had to offer. Born from the grittiest circumstances, he had learned early that good things never lasted, that hope was a fleeting thing. He had long since stopped believing in anything but his own resilience. Yet, he couldn't seem to avoid Venus. She was always there, in the most compromising of situations, and every time they crossed paths, they couldn't help but clash. Their exchanges were filled with biting sarcasm, insults, and a constant, unsaid tension. They bickered, they degraded each other, and still, they circled around one another, two forces that couldn't help but collide. Neither was willing to admit it, but something about the constant pull between them was undeniable. The question remained: How long would they keep circling? And when the inevitable finally happened, would they crash, or would something deeper, darker, rise between them-something neither of them was prepared to face?

Sure, she was plain and dull, but she was the sort one could settle down with in a few years after the sowing of the wild oats was completed. . .if one could get past how plain and ordinary she was that is. In truth, Lady Lavinia Antrucha was nothing compared to her sister, Cassandra. She had neither beauty nor social notoriety. . .but at least she didn't leave a trail of broken hearts behind her. She's the one people go to when they're in trouble and don't know what to do, the one who is supposed to be the stronger of the two Antrucha girls, the one her parents expect will stay with them for the rest of their lives, because what man would want to marry plain, little Lavinia? The most sought after bachelor in all of Scotland, the life of any given party, that's what they named Laird Ethan Brodi. He was the toast of high society and the man every mother yearned to see on their doorstep, asking to see their fine daughter. He knew there was something more to life than petty women who couldn't see past his fine physique, and he intended to find it; that is, until his father decided he had spent enough time unmarried and forged an alliance with the rich Antruchas by promising him in marriage to the eldest daughter who would certainly match Ethan in good looks and fine tastes. As far as Ethan was concerned, Lady Cassandra Antrucha could take a long walk off a short pier, but his father's word was law, and so to England he must go to meet his future bride. Can he go through with a marriage when his heart yearns for another? #Wattys2016
