A damaged duke. A misunderstood duchess. A marriage forged in the fires of obligation.

Jane Miller's world shatters with the discovery of a devastating secret. Forced to leave behind the family she once cherished, burdened by her father's insurmountable debts, and thrust into an arranged marriage to the enigmatic Edward Green, Jane teeters on the edge of despair. As she is drawn deeper into Edward's icy world, her resolve begins to waver.

From the start, their union is rife with distrust, unspoken resentments, and clashing wills. But beneath Edward's aloof exterior lies a man harbouring his own scars and secrets-ones that could either bridge the growing chasm between them or seal their fates forever. 

Can Jane and Edward overcome their differences to find solace in each other, or will their fragile connection crumble under the weight of deception? Can love truly grow between adversaries? Or will the shadows of their pasts consume the fragile bond forming between them?

Of Love and Deceit is a captivating enemies-to-lovers tale set in the Regency era, where every lingering glance and sharp word hides an unspoken truth.

And she is right to think so. Matthew Whitfield is not happy upon receiving Rose as a bride. He cannot even look upon her, as she refuses to take off her veil, and has no features he considers attractive. The handsome charming Mr. Whitfield cannot be bothered by the likes of his wife. She is the fulfillment of a contract and nothing more. So he takes a mistress, and falls in love. Victoria Sill is everything Rose is not. Beautiful, gliding, and glowing.

Victoria always get what she wants. Be it one way or other. Soon Rose falls upon a secret that turns the tables. In addition, Victoria finds a way to become closer to the Whitfield name. A child.

The Reluctant Princess - a Novella by Marnie_D

***Warning: Explicit Sexual Content*** Lavinia gripped her sister's elbow, as the dinner guests mingled in the garden, champagne flutes in hand. "What is the matter? You look... um, belligerent." "I'm going to be imprisoned for crimes against the crown before this night is over, sister," Elizabeth said, with a good dose of malice, and swiftly downed the contents of her glass, in a most unladylike way. "Care to explain before we go in for dinner?" "I wish I could explain, but I really don't know where to begin, and I'm afraid you are the last person I should be telling my tale to." Lavinia looked puzzled. "Try me." Elizabeth sighed, wishing she did not have a sister who had chosen to live the rest of her life married to God. She was supposed to be the one person she could go to and talk about womanly things, damn her eyes. "All I will say is that earlier today I had an unfortunate encounter with my betrothed... and his... um..." she fumbled for the right word. She supposed penis was the correct, scientific term, but saying the word seemed plain wrong in the presence of her pious sister. She therefore made a vague, awkward, wave-like gesture in the general area of her middle, blushing furiously. Had Lavinia been drinking champagne, she might have choked on it, but thankfully, she did not indulge in spirits. She did look, however, aghast. "I beg your pardon?" Elizabeth shook her head, turning her attention to the other side of the terrace, where the king and queen were calling their guests' attention. This was not the time, nor the place to divulge any further details. "Well, speak of the devil..." Elizabeth muttered, snatching another glass of champagne from a nearby valet. Set in a fictonal kindgom, this is the story of Elizabeth who begrudgingly arrives at the royal palace to finally wed Henry, the haughty prince to whom she had been promised since they were chldren.
