Guard of the Evergreen Princess by Alloydgators

BOOK ONE!! Her voice was quiet, yet she answered with a bold sound as if to convince herself, as well as me. "I believe the love will come in time." My heart was beating hard and loud. I took a few deep breaths in an effort to slow it lest the Princess would hear. "And if it does not?" My question seemed to float in the air. No answer was given for quite a while, although her crystal eyes did not stray from mine. There were some footsteps moving in the hallway as the guards changed. The stained glass window creaked from the blowing wind outside. Rain began to patter. "Then my father was right," she all but whispered. "I must marry for the Evergreen Kingdom first."

Kaden and the Black Falcon by Kangsta16

Kaden finally realized his dream of becoming part of the Royal Guard, but in a world of magic users, will he be able to protect the Royal Family? |Sidenote| I started writing this book back when I was 14-15 and I'm now 22, so sorry for the style change during the read haha. The book kind of evolved at the same time as me. Try to guess which chapters were written at what age lol.

Child Of The Phoenix by femertens

As heir to the kingdom of Astral, Princess Alessia Astrael is no stranger to rules - she's lived her whole life behind them. Sharp-tongued, perfectly composed, and trained to navigate the polished cruelty of court life, she's mastered the art of restraint. But beneath the surface, cracks are forming. Christian Russel, a seasoned soldier with a quiet edge and a gaze that misses nothing, is assigned as her new personal guard. He's not charming. He's not soft. He's loyal, infuriatingly calm - and completely off-limits. Their connection shouldn't deepen. But it does. What starts as tension blooms into something forbidden. A slow-burn loyalty neither of them fully understands, forged in quiet hallways, glances that linger too long, and truths spoken when no one else is listening. Yet Astral's palace is a nest of old secrets, shifting alliances, and masked intentions. And while Alessia tries to keep her heart guarded, everything around her is starting to move - including pieces far beyond her control. In a kingdom that demands perfection, desire has consequences. And love might be the most dangerous rebellion of all.
