Ceres "Ce" Allen is an ex-pirate turned smuggler to make ends meet after her family and home was torn apart by the royal guard. Now, years later, the royal guard approaches her with an ultimatum- in order to stay out of jail, Ce must keep the prince alive. 

A job easier said than done when it involves fitting in at a wealthy private school and dealing with a moody prince who seemingly doesn't care about the death threats. 

Add to that a new stepmother and a pressure to get married; even though Ce was raised by pirates, she feels like she is drowning. The one to throw her a life line is someone she least expects- the stuck up prince she is forced to protect. 

-

Loosely a Cinderella retelling.

Lips Like Ice by JmFrey
39 parts Complete Mature
He calls himself the Prince. He is humanoid but not human--fascinating, sensual, at the cusp of maturity, and accustomed to getting what he wants. And Lydia has awoken in his world to find that she has been given to him--as a pet, a plaything, and, if he so desires, a lover. As Lydia comes to realize that the Prince is as much a prisoner to his culture's ways as she is, her resentment slowly unfurls into pity, understanding, curiosity, and a deep, unpredictable, consuming lust. She wants him too, on her own terms. But in a world fraught with hidden dangers, her terms are not open for discussion, not when their thirst for one another could doom them both. In a court where monarchs are obeyed and sexual hierarchies are strict, one wrong move could end the Prince for ever... and what would happen to Lydia then? * This novel was originally published by Circlet Press in 2015 under the pseudonym Peggy Barnett. This novel is erotica, so please read at your own discretion. Visit www.jmfrey.net for more of my work. Cover by Archia.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

***This is book two in the Royally Series, You MUST read book one (Royally Sheltered) FIRST before reading this. If you haven't read that, spoilers will be in this description.*** Catherine Carter has done what no one, including her, thought she would be able to do. She's gotten past a lot of her anxiety issues, made some friends, fallen in love, and has been named the top student of the Royal Academy. She's the first in line to become the next queen of Alumbridge, and be married to the Prince. Except, the Prince and her have had a falling out because of the secrets he's hidden from her. While they had originally fallen in love, Catherine can't tell if any of the actions or words of affirmation have been real. And with him being in on the protest she started against his establishment, she's feeling like she's been betrayed. Four months later, the Academy is opening back up, and Catherine is as numb and emotional as she's ever been. She feels eager to go back to continue her protest and see her friends, but she's also scared to go back and face the Prince who she still has overwhelming feelings towards. As antagonistic forces loom in the distance, and Catherine's protest gets closer and closer to becoming an event, Catherine has to confront everything that she's come to know and believe so far. She has to confront both the past actions and past emotions that she's been putting off dealing with for the past few months. She has to figure out a way to work with the Prince, who she'd rather not see ever again, and deal with the revelations regarding him. But most of all, Catherine has to decide if she wants to continue on her current life path, or make a decision that will change the trajectory of her life forever.
