In a kingdom bound by duty and political alliances, Princess Seraphine is promised to a prince she does not love. Her heart longs for freedom... and soon, for someone forbidden.
Assigned to guard her is Sir Caelum-a quiet, loyal knight who never expected to fall for the woman he swore to protect. As stolen glances turn to secret meetings, and whispers in the dark turn to confessions of love, the two find themselves caught in a dangerous web of longing, betrayal, and war.
But courtly eyes are always watching. Especially those of Princess Amelie-Seraphine's sweet, perfect sister whose smile hides her jealousy... and whose heart secretly craves the same prince Seraphine refuses.
When kingdoms clash and war knocks at the gates, love may not be enough to save them.
And in the end... beneath the weeping willows, two hearts will break, and a kingdom will never forget.

His Last Vow
"If they dare take you from me, I will burn every crown, every kingdom, until nothing remains but what is mine." . . . . . . Seraphine Valemont has lived her life in gilded cages - trained to obey, to marry, to be the perfect heir. Her destiny is a royal marriage to Prince Alaric of Aerden, a union meant to secure peace, not love. Every choice is made for her, every word measured, every desire forbidden. Then comes Sir Cassian Dareth, her personal knight - a man of shadows and steel, whose loyalty is absolute, and whose presence awakens a dangerous fire within her. Forbidden, intoxicating, and relentless, their connection grows in stolen moments behind palace walls, where a single glance could spell ruin. The prince is polished, commanding, and ready to claim what he believes is rightfully his. But no crown, no command, no army can stand against the storm Cassian has vowed to unleash for her. Bound by duty, torn by desire, and facing a world that will never forgive them, Seraphine must decide whether to follow the path laid out for her... or risk everything for a love that could destroy them both.Complete

𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐊 & 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒.
You were born to silk and ceremony. A princess bound by etiquette, by duty, by the suffocating weight of a crown you never asked to wear. Beyond the palace walls, the city whispers of lantern-lit markets and moonlit nights - of freedom you've only ever dreamed of. When you slip past the gates one evening, you don't expect to find him: a ragged, soft-eyed boy begging in the shadows. He should mean nothing to you. Yet every stolen glance, every secret meeting by starlight, pulls you further from the world you've always known. He's forbidden. You're untouchable. But under the moonlight, none of that seems to matter. And soon, you'll have to choose: the crown you were born to wear, or the boy who's teaching you how to live.
To Burn Beside You
They were never meant to fall in love. But duty has a way of binding hearts tighter than chains-and fire has a way of consuming everything in its path. When Princess Seraphina is bound by an arranged marriage to the kingdom's fiercest prince, Caelan, she expects a cold union of politics and survival. He is infuriatingly strong, arrogant, and unyielding. She is stubborn, sharp-tongued, and unwilling to bend. They say they hate each other. But the way he steps between her and every threat, tells a different story. As enemies close in and betrayal poisons the court, Seraphina and Caelan must stand together-or risk losing everything. What begins as duty ignites into something deeper, ... a love neither of them can deny. And when the flames rise, one truth becomes clear: he would burn the world to protect her- and she would burn beside him.Complete
Bound By Oath
Sir Henry is bound by honor, his sword pledged to defend the throne. Yet no oath could prepare him for the torment of desiring the one woman he is sworn never to touch-the king's only daughter. Princess Elena is beauty wrapped in duty, her every move watched, her fate already written in a marriage of power. But when her eyes linger on Henry's, when her voice softens just for him, he feels the chains of loyalty straining against the pull of something far more dangerous. Their love is not gentle-it is a hunger they dare not name. Stolen glances in the corridors, brushes of hands that linger too long, whispers in the night that burn hotter than fire. Every secret meeting threatens scandal, every heartbeat risks ruin. Yet neither can stop, for desire grows wilder in the shadows where no one dares look. As court politics tighten like a noose and betrayal stirs in the kingdom, Henry and Elena are forced to choose: deny the passion that consumes them, or surrender to it and watch their world collapse. For in a realm where love is forbidden, nothing is more dangerous than desire itself.
The Banished Lady
In a kingdom where duty reigns supreme, Mirelith's relentless love for Prince Caius is as fiery as it is forbidden. For years, she has fought for his attention, unyielding in her quest to claim his heart-even if it meant driving away every woman who dared to stand in her way. But Evan, burdened by the weight of his royal responsibilities and his own conflicted feelings, resents her unshakable presence.Complete
