"Promises were meant to be broken..." "... I choose you. Always." ~~~ Amanda Lucienne, the heir of House Norton, has caught herself peering into what people call "The Forbidden Fruit" - well, the fruit is romance. Only eighteen years of age, and yet facing the magnitude of strongly bound tradition. She must find a suitable partner to marry. But what if she fell for a rogue instead? And not just any rogue, but a being from another side. Will she deal with the consequences of this romance? Or will she let tradition realign the course of her life back into one acceptable by many? ~~~ A/N: Rated M due to some aspects. Such as homophobic implications and slight violence (though not very graphic) among others. You have been warned. DISCLAIMERS: I do not own any of the images used in the cover art.
