When Duke's daughter Mia (Marion) Evangeline Rosaria is publicly rejected by her fiancé, Crown Prince Edward, her once-perfect life crumbles into ruin. Fleeing from humiliation and betrayal, she finds unexpected refuge in the cold marble halls of a distant kingdom - under the watchful gaze of Prince Callen, whose charm masks a storm of secrets, and her devoted guard Asher, whose loyalty borders on something far more dangerous.

But the peace she clings to begins to fracture. Whispers of old legends resurface - of hybrids, curses, and a snow wolf bound by ancient blood. When Mia unknowingly awakens one of these myths, the world around her begins to twist: loyalties blur, hearts darken, and love itself turns possessive, desperate, and consuming.

Caught between two men who would burn kingdoms to keep her, Mia must uncover the truth behind the legends - and the darkness that binds them all - before affection turns to obsession... and the line between protector and monster disappears forever.All Rights Reserved

Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Rise of the Flamebearer by CGBlaire

I was bred to obey. I obeyed when they handed me to a man I barely knew. I obeyed when my cousin smiled at me with knowing eyes while she shared my husband's bed. I obeyed when I felt like an intruder in my own marriage and told myself it would get better. I was carrying his child when he signed my death warrant. My cousin stood at his side during my execution. She had never left him. I was just the name. The woman who warmed the bed while she kept everything she actually wanted. The court watched in silence as the flames took me. I died with my child still inside me and the taste of betrayal in my final breath. Then I woke up months before the pyre. Same husband. Same cousin. Same court full of traitors who have not yet shown their faces. But I am not the same woman who believed love could be earned through obedience. I remember everything they will do to me. And now I have time to make them pay. There is a man named Caelan Vorenthal. He is my husband's greatest rival and the most dangerous person at court. When the charges were read, he knew they were lies. He took a step forward when everyone else stayed frozen. One man against a court of traitors. He hesitated because he could not win. But he wanted to try. That meant more than I realized. Caelan is not safe. He is not simple. And whatever is growing between us could destroy everything I am building or become the one thing they never saw coming. I will take back my name. I will reclaim the inheritance they stole from my bloodline. I will stand before the Empress and demand the divorce that will end my husband's claim to everything he took from me. And when the fire answers to my blood and the destiny they tried to bury rises with me, they will learn what it costs to underestimate a woman they trained to kneel. I was bred to obey. Now I choose who burns.

The One After the Storm by 20thcenturyteen

Can two people who lost everything find their way back to each other-and build something stronger from the ruins?

OBSESSION. too personal by _Jane_D_O_E

This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.

A court of withered roses by cheneyqii

Tamlin was never the villain-just the broken High Lord left behind in the ruins of a love that nearly destroyed him. Haunted by his mistakes, drowning in guilt, and shunned by the courts, he's all but forgotten. Until a human girl named Mia stumbles across the border into Prythian, bloodied and defiant, with no idea the fae exist. She wants nothing from him. She fears nothing about him. And she sees a version of him even he no longer believes in. Mia is everything Tamlin never expected: sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, and utterly unwilling to let him hide behind his monstrous past. She pushes him. Confronts him. Heals him. And in doing so, threatens to unravel every wall he's built to survive. But Prythian is stirring again, and so is an ancient prophecy-one that ties Mia's fate to his in ways that could either save the realm... or burn it to ash. This is not the story of a girl who falls for a High Lord. This is the story of a High Lord who learns how to rise.
