When Crowns Collide
Enemies. Royalty. A war zone. And one kiss that changed everything.
Princess Seraphina of Arandelia has always been the nation's rebellious wildfire-scandal in heels, headlines in satin. Her sworn enemy? Rian Valen, the cocky, too-charming son of the Prime Minister who's been her childhood rival and personal nightmare.
Their pranks have made national news. Their chemistry? Infamous. But when a diplomatic trip to a war-torn nation explodes into chaos, the two enemies are trapped together in a crumbling embassy-no guards, no luxury, and nowhere to run.
Forced to survive side by side, old tensions spark into something far more dangerous.
What will happen in that barren land? They have no other option but to trust each other. Will that trust turn into something more deep and meaningful?

Falling for the Last Person I'd Ever Love... And Yet
What if a cat and a dog tolerate each other? Not in peace--obviously--but in wildly dysfunctional harmony. That's Seraphina and Kai-she strikes first with chaos and claws, he retaliates with passive-aggressive sarcasm and emotional warfare. It's not a romance. It's a tactical battlefield with feelings. For as long as they can remember, Seraphina Voss and Kai Sterling have been locked in elite-level rivalry. Not the flirty kind. No---this is cold-war chaos between two rich kids raised like family (ew), trapped in the same social circles (double ew), and trained in the fine art of mutual sabotage. But when one dramatic arrest pushes their families over the edge, they're given the worst punishment imaginable: working together. In the same office. With real jobs. Corporate hell---but make it personal. To make matters worse, they've both caught feelings for other people. Desperate to escape each other and this soul-sucking job, they strike a deal: Seraphina helps Kai win his "perfect" girl. Kai plays wingman for Seraphina's dream guy. Clean. Simple. Foolproof. Until it all starts falling apart, thanks to office warfare, many "accidental" double dates, and emotionally violent wars in silence. Because somewhere between strategic humiliation and whatever emotionally compromising event just went down, they might be falling for the one person they hate the most. And it's not about who falls first. It's how they fall. ⚠️ Contains verbal combat, morally questionable pranks, dangerously slow-burning tension, and at least one chair thrown in the name of love. © Hazel Brown. All rights reserved.
