Morgan, the second-born son of a prominent family, ventures to court to find a bride. He's aided by Liam, a charming rake who may not be what he seems.

***

Morgan Winslow arrives at Mothshire Court for the summer marriage market, recently heartbroken and eager to carry on his family's legacy. He has every intention of finding a wife, despite his true desires. But as rumours swirl that he enjoys the company of other men, his prospects look poor. This prompts his stepmother to enlist the help of notorious rake Liam Danmore to rehabilitate his image. But Liam might not be the womanizer he appears, and Morgan's will to conform may not be as strong as he thought.

The court of Queen Ainsley is a progressive one, with a proclamation in place that allows men to marry if they give up their inheritance. But members of the conservative elite who disagree with these policies (including Liam's father) plot to install the prince over his twin sister as the queen's health fails.

As Liam and Morgan grow closer, they discover more and more of the secret underground of the summer palace. The conspiracy against the queen threatens the reforms she ushered in along with the very existence of the underground itself. There are more than a few obstacles in their path, and powerful figures working against them. But one thing is certain: if they want to be together, they'll have to fight for it.

He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.

Mason Marks is a screw up. Every day is a struggle to cough up enough money for rent, to ignore the reek of despair flooding the streets, to stop himself from slipping further into the shadows and slums of Downtown L.A. And he is sick of it. When he's kidnapped by a creature seemingly taken straight out of folklore, his world is flipped upside down--quite literally. There, he is rescued by two strangers who are part of an organization tasked with keeping the peace between the two words: Earth and the land of folklore, Somnium. Though Mason stumbles to find his footing in a world where fantasy and reality walk side by side, he is nothing but determined. Mason has no choice but to fight for both worlds. To fight against the oppressors, those who claim to be on his side, his doubts, and his own inner darkness. *** from readers: "With it's wonderfully diverse and interesting cast of characters, The Los Angeles Lighthouse will take you on a little adventure into a world of pure fantasy and some emotional rollercoasters.
