Bride of the Greek Prince
Perdita just wanted a vacation. Three weeks free of a certain annoying coworker constantly one-upping her. No impossible demands by a boss looking for any excuse to fire her. No nagging from her father and step-witch about when she is going to give them grandchildren like her perfect step-sister. Three weeks of relaxation on a Nile River cruise... But misfortune seems to follow Perdita (could it be because she was named after the tragic Shakespearean character?). Before she can settle into her vacation, Perdita falls into an exhibit on the ship, accidentally touching an ancient relic of unknown origin. Perdita finds herself being transported to ancient Egypt where she is being tried as a criminal... Lucky, or unlucky for her, Mycenaean prince Acacius takes in interest in her, calling her "Helen." He decides to bring her back to Mycenae with him to serve him as his wife. Perdita soon finds herself wrapped up in ancient politics, war, magic, and love... She wanted a vacation... not an adventure... *Some liberties have been taken with dates and historic events. Some changes are explained throughout the story and will make sense as you read... others are to make the timeline fit :)*

Unfulfilled Desires
What is it about life that makes it so challenging? We may not always have what we want, and the things we do have are either unappreciated or we fail to recognize their true value until it's too late. Riya, like any other young woman her age, fantasized about meeting the right guy and living a happy, romantic life with her Prince Charming straight out of a fairy tale world, but she was soon forced to accept reality, seeking happiness with her lover, Harsh, rather than pining over someone who may or may not exist. Riya was helplessly drawn to a new guy who started working at the same company she did... His demeanor reminded her of the man of her dreams; he was just as stubborn, aggressive, and challenging as she was. Riya believed she had finally found him... her Prince Charming... the one worthy of her eternal love after meeting Rachit. What will happen, however, when Riya discovers that her beloved was not who she had expected, that her dreams were nothing more than fantasies, and that reality was even further away than the west from the east?Complete

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
