*"I never wanted to be a villain. But fate doesn't care about your wants or needs-it just fucks with your life and makes you deal with the consequences."*

Once, Princess Elira Ravelle was the golden heir of Eiradell-a kingdom of light, duty, and masks. She was raised to be perfect: graceful, obedient, a jewel in the crown of a realm that smiled while sharpening knives behind silk sleeves. Her future was sealed in gilded ink... until she fell in love with the one man she was forbidden to even speak to.

Prince Kaelen Morvane-a shadow-touched royal from the rival kingdom of Noctharrow, feared for its bloodline of cursed magic and whispered darkness. He was everything she was taught to hate: cunning, merciless, intoxicating. And he loved her not despite the light in her-but because he saw the storm beneath it.

Their love was reckless. And it was doomed.

When Elira's father discovered the affair, he used it as a weapon. Accused of treason, stripped of her title, and locked away, Elira was forced to watch from her prison tower as her family signed her death warrant under the guise of honor. But fate gave her a different ending.

Kaelen came-not to save her, but to offer her a choice: *burn the crown that betrayed her... or be buried with it.*

Elira chose fire.

Now reborn as the Crimson Queen, Elira wages war on the world that molded her into a pawn. They call her mad. Cursed. A villainess drunk on vengeance. But they never saw the girl behind the smile. They never saw the light they shattered.

As kingdoms fall and blood is spilled in her name, only Kaelen remains close enough to touch the fury and the ruin she's become. Their love was once a rebellion. Now it's a weapon-dangerous, twisted, and addictive.

She didn't want to be the villain.

But she'll make sure they remember why they should have never made her one.All Rights Reserved

Disaster-in-Waiting NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY ON AMAZON by ElleMThomas

WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"

Everyone would always love watching her dance inside the castelet to an endless melody until their never-ending hearts' content. One day, a wandering handsome prince found her. Her breathtaking beauty caught the prince's eye.

"That's a terrible excuse Lou" he said with a cold look in his eyes. I took a step back and he took a step forward towering over my small frame. "B-but it's the truth" I said with my voice shaky. He place his hand under my chin making me look into his eyes "No..no..no..you could've called me when your class was over but instead you went and hang out with your friends."

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it.
