A new emperor has risen, uniting the six Fae kingdoms of Aetheria under his rule. To maintain the fragile peace, each Fae kingdom-and the mortal realm-sends their most powerful, treasured women to his harem, where one will rise as Empress.
Althea, princess of Leria-the mortal kingdom that guards the bridge to Aetheria-knows what awaits her: a court of ruthless ambition, a battlefield disguised in silk and smiles. In a place where beauty is a weapon and love is nothing but a weakness, survival is her only goal.
Yet amidst the chaos, the one man she should fear most-the Emperor himself-watches her with an intensity that burns. Soren. The Fae Emperor. A warrior born of Light and Dark, a ruler so powerful he ended centuries of war. He has never taken a queen. Never yielded to desire.
Until her.
As whispers spread of his growing obsession, Althea becomes the most coveted-and most hunted-woman in Aetheria. With assassins lurking in the shadows and enemies closing in, she must fight not only for her life, but for a love powerful enough to reshape a kingdom.
In a court where love is a weakness, can she become his greatest strength?

Fragile Desires [𝟏𝟖+] [𝐆𝐱𝐆]
"Kiss me," I whispered, the need dripping off of my soft voice a tangible weight in the air. Renata leaned closer, sending a jolt through my flushed body. But just before our lips could meet, she paused, her gaze holding mine captive, "You first," a challenge laced in her lowered voice. I drew in a deep breath when her hand pressed firmly against my back, curving my body closer to hers. "Me?" I echoed in surprised. A knowing smirk played on her lips, "If you want me to kiss you," she began, her voice a drawn-out whisper-tightening her grip around me and easily molding me to her body, "Then do it yourself." ♛ In a world of royal alliances and high-tech mergers, soon-to-be Queen Azura finds herself entangled in a dangerous game of sex scandals and murder when she forms an alliance with the headstrong Renata Rivera, the CEO of a powerful cyber security firm.

As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom.

Veil of the Hallow Heart
In the moonlit kingdom of Lunaris, emotions are buried beneath layers of silence and duty. Among its pale spires and silver gardens lives Princess Lirael Nocturne, the heir to a throne sculpted from ice and expectation. Born with a face that never smiles and a heart that has never stirred, she is the perfect daughter of a kingdom that fears feeling. Princes from every corner of the continent come to win her hand-but none can melt her cold indifference. For Lirael, love is a word spoken often but never understood. She once asked her mother what happiness felt like. The answer never came. But when two new royal guards arrive-young men from a distant village-and a soft-spoken maid with warm hands is assigned to serve her, the silent world Lirael has always known begins to tremble. Among them is Caelan Thorne, a loyal guard whose heart belongs to another-his childhood friend Selene, now the princess's maid. Selene, however, has eyes only for someone else: Rowan, the charming second guard who doesn't know how much she's always meant to her. And in the quiet spaces between duty and longing, Lirael begins to feel something unfamiliar. Something warm. Something painful. Something that just might be love.Concluida

As Aenor's secret magic awakens and shadows stir in the palace halls, their tentative alliance blooms into a love neither expected but both desperately need.

Will the healing light of love be enough to calm the storm within the crown prince? Or will darkness tear them apart before their hearts can truly unite?Concluida
