Aurora is a rising singer with her first Grammy nominations, a sold-out tour behind her, and a career that's just getting started. She's focused, a little guarded, and way too busy for distractions - especially the charming, older, talk-show-host kind.
Then comes her SNL debut. And Seth Meyers.
What starts as a couple of harmless jokes and backstage conversations quickly turns into something she can't quite name. He's witty, recently single, and completely disarming. She's trying to keep things professional, but the banter is addictive, the timing all wrong, and the connection kinda undeniable.
Told with humor, vulnerability, and way too many almost-moments.

But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything.

Beyond The Ivory Castle | Historic-Romance | (Completed)
"You created that absurd tale in a blink of an eye?" Zane asked, one brow arched in amused disbelief. She huffed. "You should be grateful, I think quickly." "Oh, I am," he murmured. "But perhaps next time, a backstory wherein I retain a modicum of dignity?" Aurora smirked. "And rob myself of the entertainment? Where's the fun in that?" Zane shook his head, but his fingers lingered a fraction longer before he released her hand. "I hadn't realised amusement ranked so highly among your values." She narrowed her eyes. "You are growing rather bold, considering I just saved your life." Zane, entirely undeterred, tilted his head with an infuriating smile. "Ah, but my dearest", he murmured, stepping closer, "perhaps you saved me because you cannot bear to be without me." She responded with all the grace and dignity of a woman at her wit's end-by clamping a hand over his face and shoving him away with such force that he staggered back, laughter spilling from his lips. "Gah! You are intolerable!" Aurora exhaled sharply, straightening her sleeves as though the mere act of touching him had somehow wrinkled them. *************************** Bound by duty. Shackled by honour. Tormented by feeling. Aurora lives a life shaped by steel and sacrifice. As a knight sworn to her realm, she's loyal, lethal, and alone-unshaken in battle, but increasingly undone in his presence. Zane is a problem: disciplined yet reckless, distant yet always too close. He never asks, never reveals-yet somehow sees straight through her. When a mission draws them deep into peril, forced side by side, what once was teasing sharpens into tension. In stolen glances and moonlit silence, desire simmers beneath duty, and silence becomes the loudest agony of all. As truths unravel and enemies close in, the real question isn't whether they can trust each other... It's whether they can afford not to.

Revenge of the Modern Maiden
Aurora is thirty-three, single, and done. Done with dating apps. Done with men who think sarcasm counts as a personality. Done with being told she should still "believe in fairy tales." But when a man who looks like he walked out of a fantasy novel crashes through her ceiling in full armor and declares her his destined bride... Aurora is really done. Malamier Everhart is not just any prince. He's the Crown Prince of Aelvarad, born under the Moon's First Bloom, on a quest to find the one foretold to break a curse on his kingdom. He speaks like a romance novel, looks like a sin, and insists that she's his prophecy. There's just one problem. Aurora doesn't believe in prophecies. Or curses. Or love at first sight. She believes in oat milk lattes, feminist podcasts, and her very comfortable, man-free life. But as reality fractures and fairy-tale creatures leak into her world, Aurora must choose: keep running from the destiny she never wanted... Or rewrite it on her own terms. A romantic comedy for every woman who ever rolled her eyes at the "fated mate" trope, then secretly fell in love with it anyway.
