caribbean forbidden royalty

In a world where power and bloodlines define your worth, Lenara, a sixteen-year-old royal of Caribbean descent, faces an unimaginable fate: an arranged marriage to Tharion, the seventeen-year-old prince of the distant, frigid kingdom of Seldor. The marriage is a political maneuver to end the long-standing war between their two kingdoms. The contract is clear-Lenara and Tharion will remain married until Lenara turns twenty-one, at which point they can choose to divorce.

Lenara, the bastard child of her kingdom's royal bloodline, has always been seen as a political tool, rather than a person. Her mother and father view her marriage as the key to peace, with little regard for her personal desires. To them, she's merely a pawn-a means to an end. As the wedding day draws near, Lenara feels the weight of their expectations pressing down on her. At only sixteen, she is thrust into the adult world of power struggles, her future determined by the marriage contract, not by love or choice.All Rights Reserved

His Exclusive Possession by pixie3045

Nyra stumbles back, breathless, as Karan advances, his gaze dark with hunger. The air between them crackles like a live wire-dangerous, intoxicating, impossible to ignore. Nyra: (pressing a hand to his chest, her voice sharp but shaky) "Stay away, Karan." Karan: (grabs her wrist, pulling her flush against him) "I've stayed away long enough." Nyra: (glares up at him, her lips parting as her breathing quickens) "I hate you." Karan: (leans in, his lips just a breath away from hers) "Then why are you trembling?" Nyra: (tries to push him away, but his grip tightens, sending a shiver down her spine) "Let me go." Karan: (his fingers trail down her waist, voice low and rough) "Tell me to stop... and mean it." Silence. Her pulse races. His breath fans against her skin. She should push him away. She should fight. But when his lips ghost over hers, she forgets why she ever wanted to. ___________________________________________________ Nyra never wanted to marry a man like Karan-arrogant, controlling, and dangerously obsessed with her. But fate had other plans, forcing her into a marriage she never chose. Trapped in a life she resents, she resists him at every turn, refusing to surrender. But Karan isn't a man who gives up easily. And when their unspoken desires ignite, defiance turns into a dangerously intoxicating game-one where neither is willing to admit just how much they crave the fire between them.

The Witch of Banau by AveryMcDougall

At sixteen, Adira was banished to the island of Banau after committing treason: saving the life of her brother, the Crown Prince, with witchcraft. For the past five years, the only visitors to Banau have been those after the bounty placed on her head. Until a boat arrives, carrying an injured young woman, her two brothers, and her husband. Adira finds herself using her witchcraft to heal instead of kill again, stirring up feelings she thought she'd long buried. Her price is simple: leave Banau, tell no one what she did, and never return. Zarad, one of the brothers, ignores her wishes and decides to stay and serve Adira for one year. The price was not fair, and she needs someone. Adira is convinced she needs no one and wants him gone, but he might be even more stubborn than she is. He might also be right.

The Tainted Princess by Lovey12544

In a kingdom where bloodlines define power and survival is a constant struggle, Princess Elaria of the Valeshire Kingdom finds herself bound to a man she barely knows-Archduke Alaric Blackwood of the Lunara Empire. Their marriage, forged by duty rather than desire, is a contract neither of them ever expected, but one they must now navigate together. Elaria carries the weight of a painful past, a past that threatens to break her as she steps into a new life, with new enemies, in a world ruled by shadows. Alaric, a man as enigmatic as the empire he commands, holds his own secrets, and though his presence looms over her, his true intentions remain hidden. As whispers grow louder and power shifts beneath their feet, Elaria must learn her place in a court where nothing is as it seems. But with every step, her feelings for the archduke begin to stir, and questions arise: Can one truly find a place in a world so cold? Can two broken souls ever learn to trust each other, or will they remain forever prisoners to their pasts? Unfortunately is an unfinished work that will sadly never be completed. Please feel free to read just in case you do end up enjoying it!!

Red's Wolves by druidrose

Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son. Even a kingdom over, the whispers of the canny princess the people feared as fae reached royal ears. But they thought to use her to their advantage...to put fear in their own people's hearts and make them bend the knee. Now with the kingdom at war with the prince she would have married, Alera must save the people who feared her from an unspeakable fate brought to their door by the sullen prince wielding a dark unknown power. -------------------- Cover by Tina Glasneck ©2022 M.Dalto Published to Wattpad 06.01.2022 Completed 03/30/2023

The Queen's Thorn by Wrenthebird6

Also, this is my first story! But anyways, here is what the story is about! In the kingdom of Veladris, where magic is bound by bloodline and ancient pacts, Princess Lysara has spent her life preparing for an arranged marriage to a nobleman she does not love. But on the eve of her engagement announcement, she crosses paths with Seraphine, a rogue sorceress with a wicked smile and bounty on her head. Seraphine claims to know a secret about the royal bloodline-one that could change the fate of Veladris forever. When an assassination attempt on Lysara forces her to flee the palace, she has no choice but to trust the dangerous yet alluring sorceress. Together, they embark on a journey through enchanted forests, underground rebel networks, and pleasure-drenched masquerade balls where desire is as much a weapon as a sword. As Lysara learns to wield forbidden magic and take control of her own destiny, her partnership with Seraphine grows into a passionate, intoxicating affair. But with the crown at stake and a dark force hunting them both, they must decide: will they fight to reclaim Lysara's throne, or abandon it all for the love that could set them free.
