"I think I'm falling... but I don't know how to land."
In the golden sands of Egypt's Jade Kingdom, nineteen-year-old Princess Zahra Akilah shines like the morning sun-warm, gentle, and adored by her people. But when peace teeters on the edge of war, her heart becomes the price for diplomacy.
She's promised to Prince Michael Reigns of the Ruby Kingdom: a man whose charm is a mask for cruelty. And just when hope begins to slip through Zahra's fingers, a knight appears-a storm wrapped in gold.
Rhys of Eldewyn is silent and scarred, loyal only to the blade and the crown. He believes royals are nothing more than spoiled symbols. That is, until Zahra-whose smile cracks through his armor like sunlight through stone.
He is her assigned protector. She is the forbidden flame he never meant to touch.
As stolen glances turn into secret meetings, and tension turns into undeniable longing, Zahra and Rhys must choose between duty and desire-between peace for a kingdom and the love that could ruin it all.
A tale of longing and loyalty, of silk and steel, of a sun who dared to love the moon.

The Tiger Games
"She was sunlight he couldn't stand. He was thunder, she refused to fear." Brace yourself for the ultimate clash: Alannah, the unstoppable ray of sunshine who refuses to dim, and Nick, the grump who would rather scowl than admit he cares. Their enemies-to-lovers story is a rollercoaster of sharp comebacks, heated glares, and sparks that refuse to die down. Alannah's warmth pokes holes through every wall Nick builds, while his cold sarcasm only makes her shine brighter. Every meeting is a standoff, every word a challenge, and yet-the pull between them is magnetic. He can't stand her optimism, she won't let his bitterness win, and somewhere between the fire and the light... love dares to grow. Can a storm fall in love with the sun? Or will their collision set everything ablaze? The tension is brutal, the risks higher than ever, and every stolen glance could change everything. When the game reaches its breaking point, only one question remains: will their fire destroy them-or save them? Stay tuned. The sparks are only getting hotter.Terminé

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Terminé

In a world where love is the deadliest betrayal, can two sworn enemies claim each other... or will the river claim them both? A tale of poetic doom, where yearning twists into possession, and every touch is a step toward tragedy.
His Veiled Bride(On Hold)
In the dim glow of the wedding chamber, his words fell like shards of glass, sharp and unforgiving. "This marriage was arranged by my grandfather out of some foolish friendship, but I will never accept it," he declared, his voice cold as winter frost. "Tonight, I'll leave this country and this farce of a marriage behind. I refuse to be trapped in a life I never chose." Without a backward glance, he turned and walked away, his footsteps echoing like the final notes of a requiem. He left her there alone, abandoned, discarded as if she were nothing more than a relic of duty and tradition. She sat unmoving, a silent figure draped in red and gold, the weight of her bridal veil a shroud of sorrow. Beneath its folds, unseen by any living soul, a single tear traced its path down her cheek a tear born of love unspoken, dreams unwoven, and a heart breaking silently in the night. Her voice, barely more than a whisper, trembled with the ache of a soul left forsaken. "Bina Piya Ji, Mein kaise Jiyu?" The words hung in the stillness like a prayer to a merciless fate, fragile, desperate, and unanswered. In that moment, the air grew heavy with unspoken anguish and the promise of a destiny forever altered by the cruelty of choices never her own. This was not merely the end of a wedding night; it was the dawn of a battle between heart and fate, love and loss, with scars yet to be written upon the pages of her life. This poignant moment marks the beginning of a journey filled with heartbreak, resilience, and the search for a destiny beyond the bonds of an unchosen fate... ____________________ Tropes ________ Royal Romance Grumpy X Sunshine Drama x Humour forced Proximity arrange marriage Protective X Possessive Unrequited crush Princess and Director ________________________

For in a realm where love is forbidden, nothing is more dangerous than desire itself.
