Broken Crowns
This is a draft. It's not complete and currently writing. I'll be editing and changing things as I go but will post revised when I change or update things. ****** In Extrovia, every crown is built on blood. Princess Dahlia Loth was born to play the role of the merciful heir: silk-clad, silent, and obedient. But behind palace walls, she is her father's favorite victim-punished for kindness, scarred for defiance, and promised to a man she despises. Her mother can heal wounds, but not break chains. Her brother plots rebellion, but the cost may be everything. Her sisters cling to innocence in a kingdom that devours it. And when an envoy from Nytherra arrives under the guise of diplomacy, Dahlia's mask begins to crack. Secrets are revealed, alliances tested, and the fire she has buried for years threatens to consume the throne itself. Their leader.... Makes Dahlia feel things she's never dreamed of.

It Should Have Been Like This (The Revised Version)
Lavender faced the ultimate betrayal after discovering that her fiancé, the man she loved most, had been using her all along. He had only dated her to seek revenge against her father and to claim everything her late mother had left her as a gift to his real fiancee. Devastated, Lavender lost everything she owned to him, and her family was plunged into dire poverty as a result. Heartbroken, she fled her past, running away from her disowned father and the agonizing pain. She dedicated her life to caring for the "blessings" her ex-fiancé had left behind. But just when Lavender thought she had found a measure of peace, everything starts falling apart again. Forced to reconcile with her ex, Lavender is torn-he is a changed man now, but to her, he remains an enemy. As her bottled-up emotions resurface, past cases reopening, and his persistent efforts to win back her affection intensify, how long can Lavender's hatred last? --- This story is significantly different from the original version. It maintains the key plot while changing the outline, fixing as much plot holes as possible, adding new characters, depths, and chapters. I wrote this to better suit the sequel, <It Started With A Kiss>Concluída
