Swapped Fate by rikaaraji468
68 parts Complete
No one would expect those of the wealthy high society to mingle with the lowly and poor; not when it's for something as sacred as a marital bond. Lady Fate, however, seems to have differing views when she lands the orphaned Mavis right into the den of high society to become the daughter-in-law of the reputable and esteemed Devereux family. Tristan, her soon-to-be husband, is a cocky and vexatious force to reckon with, whom she constantly butts heads with in a war of words, emotions and actions. But when life-threatening situations are hurled their way and the Devereux family has upon its hands a set of recurring crises, the two quarrelbirds' only way to prevent its downfall might be....togetherness. * Some crossing swords, a bit of firing guns, adequate meeting of eccentric species and races, quite some touring of mystical lands with a heavy dose of the love potion.

Olivia Watts thought she had it all. Her dream job and a picturesque relationship complete with a perfectly toxic longterm boyfriend. Except, she's tired of just looking good. She wants more for herself, and it's time for her to grow up and get it. But what if it comes from a place she never would've expected? How does she know her growth isn't being traded in for the next best, forbidden love affair? Dio Alonso is well-rounded. He's established himself, but as a psychologist, he can't ignore his desire for the next stage of life. Of course, he thought the love of his life would come the normal way, but she might just walk into his life in the most unethical way possible...as his client. If only love didn't taste so good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Updates biweekly to Wattpad, but early access chapters will be available on my Patreon (link in bio)! Happy reading!

Trying to block out the pain of everyone you've lost in the past might blind you to the one person who's still here in the present. Kathryn is facing the hardest decision of her life: take someone else's life, or stay trapped in her personal hell forever. In just a few months, a complete stranger accepts her more than her family ever did in a lifetime. But... Trust doesn't exist. And being alone? That's where real strength lies. Right?
