In the glittering world of Regency era high society, where power is as intoxicating as champagne and betrayal is served on silver trays, two of England's most influential families have been at war for generations. A broken betrothal in the past left a rift too deep to mend, turning the Ashfords and the von Weissenburgs into sworn enemies. Their wealth rivals that of kingdoms, their influence extends to the Crown itself- but their hatred for one another burns even fiercer.
Lady Amalia von Weissenburg, daughter of a powerful Anglo-German lineage, is sharp-witted, fiercely independent and utterly uninterested in marriage. Lord Nathaniel Ashford is arrogant, ruthless and exasperatingly charming. They should despise each other. And they do. Until fate, in all its cruel irony forces them into a tangled web of secrets, schemes and a dangerously undeniable attraction.
As whispered rumors swirl through the ballrooms of London and the weight of their families' rivalry passes down on them Amalia and Nathaniel must decide : will they fight for their pride or risk everything for a love that was never meant to be?
Let the games begin.

"𝐼𝑛 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑠, 𝑠ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑛." 𝘿𝙞𝙮𝙖 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 is kind, too kind and strong in the way that makes people forget she bleeds too. Love was never expected, only endurance. So when her father asked her to marry she nodded... not out of hope, but habit. 𝙑𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙧𝙖, grew up in a home that taught him how to build empires but never taught him how to ask for a hug.

And they definitely didn't expect comfort in each's other's silence. A tale of quiet yearning- an arranged marriage where silence becomes a language and love sneaks in when no one's looking. - M 💌

Love, By Any Other Name
Amid the glittering courts and whispered intrigues of late-nineteenth-century Estoria, the Season begins - a spectacle of elegance, envy, and quiet war. Lady Isadora Ravenshade, orphaned daughter of a disgraced duke, enters society under the wary guardianship of her aunt, Duchess Beatrice of Ravensleigh. What begins as obligation soon becomes transformation, as Isadora's grace - unstudied, unpolished, and disarmingly sincere - unsettles those who rely upon artifice to survive. Two princes will come to notice her: Lucien de Montclair, the charming Lysandrian diplomat whose words are as smooth as his smile, and Prince Sebastian Valemont, heir to Estoria's throne - reserved, observant, and drawn to quiet strength. Between them lies more than affection; there are treaties, rivalries, and a court that never forgives those who misstep beneath its chandeliers. In a world where every glance can wound and every dance conceals intent, Isadora must learn that survival at court is not granted by beauty or birth - but by understanding the game itself. Intrigue is its own kind of love story. And love, in the wrong hands, is the most dangerous intrigue of all.
In Victorian-era France, noble duty is everything especially for Victoria Everleigh, a sharp-tongued young woman being forced into an arranged marriage to restore her family's standing.
