Royal Fools by greenwriter

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.

He had arrived on her doorstep, of her family home, looking every inch the storybook hero; tall dark and incredibly attractive.

Manipulated, by the handsome Major, into the life of a courtesan, could Cassie escape from the life that had been so cruelly thrust upon her, or would she be trapped forever?

A Bet On Hearts [Romantic Comedy] by Sylvia-Norcroft

[IMPORTANT: This is a closed-door romance story that caters to readers who are uncomfortable reading heavy erotica and adult scenes.] Miss Mina Haswell has always been a firm believer in matters of the heart, holding steadfast to the notion of love, especially when it came to her betrothed, a dear childhood friend. However, fate took a cruel turn, as she found herself draped in mourning attire, her heart shrouded in grief, unable to fathom the prospect of love ever gracing her life again. Following her father's untimely demise, the esteemed title of Viscount Sinclair, which he had borne with distinction, is unexpectedly passed on to a distant kinsman, the somewhat reclusive Mr. Royston Langdon. As their paths converge, Mina and Royston embark upon an unconventional journey, filled with twists of fate and unforeseen challenges. Intrigued by the enigmatic Miss Haswell, Mr. Langdon proposes an audacious wager - a game of hearts. If Mina succeeds in aiding Royston in winning the affections of his potential bride, he pledges to magnify her inheritance settlement threefold. In return, should Royston assist Mina in capturing the heart of her desired suitor, she would be compelled to relinquish her beloved summer residence, a sanctuary where her fondest memories were woven, amounting to a significant portion of her settlement. Their stakes are equal, for Mina had lived far from the scrutinizing gaze of the ton, while Royston remains a newcomer to its glittering, complex world. Yet patience is not a virtue Miss Haswell is known for, and Mr. Langdon seems to derive a peculiar pleasure from vexing her at every turn. Amidst the whirlwind of emotions, societal expectations, and their ever-escalating exchanges, a question lingers: Could this daring wager, initiated by the whims of fate, possibly result in a victor, or would the unpredictable game of love rewrite the rules entirely?

Only Yours by courtneyrush756

Like every other book worm, Tamina used to have that dream where a man would swoop in and buy that desired book, and that is how she meets Brandon. Never believing a sweet gentleman like himself could exist outside the pages of a book, doubting how long it will be for their time to come to an end, and if this handsome man can prove her right. . . or wrong. Brandon is a man who has all he desires-apart from the right woman to spend the rest of his life with. With a one in a blue moon trip to the library, timid girl Tamina catches his eye, and he knows she's the one he wants regardless of the path chosen for him. Promises of delicious romance, luxuries, and heartache meet her on every bend, and if Brandon isn't careful, he may lose her for good.
