Once known for his ruthless cruelty, Peyton, the infamous Prince of Northbay, was stripped of his title and power, becoming a cripple after falling victim to a vicious plot. Now, the disgraced Fourth Prince is nothing more than a forgotten invalid.
The Noble House of Glory, unwilling to sacrifice their legitimate daughter, pushed forward their unfavored daughter, Serenity, to be married off in her place.
The Fourth Prince's estate was nothing more than a dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of the capital, covered in cobwebs and ignored by all. Peyton, with his crippled leg, lay confined to his bed, covered in filth. He glared at Serenity with cold eyes filled with suspicion and disgust.
But Serenity was surprisingly pleased. Here, there were no scheming sisters or a cruel mistress of the house. She was free to do as she pleased, raising chickens and tending to her vegetable garden. She believed that even the two of them could live a good life together.
The only problem was her seemingly difficult and disabled husband...
Serenity, carrying a bowl of food, crouched down beside Peyton and pleaded with him, "I'll give you all the meat. You have to be a little nicer to me, okay?"
The battle for the throne had turned brother against brother. In one calculated attack, Peyton suffered a grievous injury. Lying there with a broken leg, he thought his life was over.
Unexpectedly, his newly wedded wife burst into his life, bringing with her a sweet fragrance and a smile, like a ray of light piercing through the fog.
How could he bear to be just "a little nicer" to her? He wanted to cherish her, to hold her in the palm of his hand as the most precious jewel in the world.
The betrothal gift, at the time of their wedding, had been a mere three bags of millet. Now, he would offer her the entire kingdom, just to win a single smile from her

"Look, you've been vetted by my family and are probably nice enough with your reasonably decent lawyer or whatever job, but I'm not looking for my next year's Thanksgiving date." I sigh and, almost as an afterthought, ask, "What are you looking for then?" Ally's eyes, off in the distance, veer back to me. They dance alive with fire, or something else? "Honestly?" she asks and looks me up and over like accessing some kind of Thanksgiving ham at the store. "Someone that'll let me sit on their face for a night so I can blow off some steam and then never have to deal with them again." I, by the mere blessing of every angel and god, don't react by spitting out my beer. I just pull it from my lips and with all the casualness I can muster and put forth with the civilized and chilled guise of the amazing lawyer I am, say "Well, I'm not particularly full." In the modern era of commitment phobia, fed into by celebrated self-proclaimed independence, love still finds a way. Or at least 27-year-old lawyer Lenox Letsky has to hope, because he's invested way too much time of his obnoxiously high hourly rate into the pursuit of 25-year-old wannabe artist, Ally Waltin. She is by all accounts, the easiest girl he's ever met. The first time they met ended in a raunchy sexcapade after an easy win in an intense cornhole tournament. And they had the kind of effortless banter and natural chemistry that had him smiling days later. So why when everything was so easy, did she have to make it so hard? Ally is adamant that her defined terms are not to be ignored or changed. She will only accept something so long as it's nothing and Lenox is forced to comply or lose her. Though he has a plan. It's ripe with dumb stupid courage, childish games, and psychological strategies. And he's not above using any and all of them to win over the girl of his dreams starring in all of his nightmare.Lengkap

A Lord and Lace (Regency au! Prince Arthur x oc)
A wayward regency au one shot I wrote for fun, and because the concept wouldn't stop haunting my mind. ~ Trying to get back up after his ex-fiancé left him, Lord Arthur Pendragon relents to his friends and families idea of hosting a party in his family's estate. Although holding up hope for a new love that evening, he could not predict falling head over heel for a woman with haunted eyes, who secretly hides a crooked and wicked grin and a spark of intrigue unlike any he's glimpses before. After catching the sight of that side of her, and the way her families mistreatment severely dampens it, he finds himself sure of one thing. He's going to get her out their grasp, but doing so might be more tricky then first expected. Miss Harriet Frodesdotter is stuck in a hell of constantly being forced into a uncomfortable, lace covered, dress, into unbearably loud ballrooms, and dealing with condescending suitors that her controlling sister manages to steer towards her. The sudden approach by a Lord Pendragon does make her pause however, his sweet and concerned eyes appearing to be almost horrifyingly sincere as he offers to help her with her family issues. She doesn't trust him, he's not the first to claim to be her savour for purely selfish reasons, but something tells her that there's something more to him, and not in a bad way. ~ Content warning for ableism, family issues (including abuse, I don't perceive it as especially graphic, but it's there) and depictions of meltdowns.Lengkap
The Scarlet Assassin
With Ravaryn on the brink of war, King Orson becomes desperate for any edge against the ever-growing Targaryn kingdom. So desperate, he calls to his rebellious, decorated assassin to murder the crowned prince, soon to be king. Vera is resistant at first, but when the king proposes her freedom in exchange for the prince's head, she reluctantly agrees. The only problem? This mission is near to impossible, and her team of thieves is made up of four teenagers.... and two new additions -a defiant princess with daddy issues and a cold-blooded soldier with a mission to kill. -------------------- Then we stood at the mouth of the sewer, staring into the dark abyss with nothing but a finicky lamp and an unusual team of six rebellious kids. What we were about to do was treason at the highest level. It was hard not to think about as it thrummed in my body, through my blood. My adrenaline was already pumping through me. If we got caught... if any of us were recognized... The consequences were too severe to think about. But, then again, though we faced impending doom, I knew I secretly loved it--the rush. I craved it, sought it out. That's what brought us here, thousands of miles from our home, about to enter the enemy's heart. "Are you ready?" I asked, to no one in particular but saw it fitting. Sophie gave me a weak smile, but it was Sorin who responded, smirking cockily and flipping his only blade into his holster. "Let's go kill a prince."Lengkap

The King's Seal
"A drop of blood in the golden bowl will bind us to each other," Vaeril looked at everyone's face to see how determined they were to vow their lives to Varick. Kia used the dagger to slash his hand and let the blood flow into the plate. Dan followed, and the rest did it as well. Everyone looked at Briar, who was just standing in the middle of Kia and Declan. "Do you feel out of place because you are not a direct descendant of Rowan? We cannot have the Queen vow for his own son. Your wife was not able to travel here due to illness," Declan asked without hesitation. Briar looked at Volde, seemingly trying to tell him something. "Rowan remains on neutral ground," he gave the dagger back to Gunther. "I didn't expect the beast of the past to cower this time", Declan tilted his head. "I respect that decision, Your Majesty", Varick nodded and there wasn't a hint of animosity in his eyes. Volde removed the crown from his head. Briar stood next to him. The crowd waited for him to put it on the head of his son. "Do you need me to slash your hands for you to let go of it?", the ash greyhead man asked in a soft tone. Volde gulped and slowly placed it on Varick's head. "All Hail His Majesty!", they all cheered. Varick looked around and his heart kept beating fast. He looked at his father and felt a certain degree of fear. Yel_lue Originals Book II of Quill Pen (Trilogy)

The unreachable mountain
"You're unbearable!" He kicks her with utter contempt. "Please tell me where I'm wrong, causing you discomfort was not my intention," she said crying, causing him to hit her against the ground again. "Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man.

She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.Lengkap
Trusting Grace
"I've been burned once, who is to say it will not happen again" I spoke quietly watching her closely. Grace confused me like no other she wormed her way into my heart with her easy-going smiles, kind nature, and gentle heart.

The smile she sent me held love, comfort and that was all it took after months of breaking down the walls I decided to take a leap of faith. *********************************************** Cassian Grey had been burned once and that was enough for him after sharing a business deal with his four other brothers they opened up The Grey Gull on the coast of Cornwall, England.
