I Got Stuck in a Forbidden Romance as the Villainess(EDITING)
Isha Smith was just an ordinary book addict with a dangerous weakness for forbidden romance... until her favourite novel literally swallowed her whole. Now she's trapped in the body of Valeria Duclair-the breathtaking, powerful, and utterly doomed villainess destined to die at the hands of the man she chased so desperately. Armed with nothing but razor-sharp sarcasm, a encyclopedic knowledge of every overused romance cliché, and a fierce determination to live, Isha is ready to rewrite the entire tragic script. No more scheming. No more pearl-clutching jealousy. And definitely no dying for a man who never loved her. But rewriting fate isn't easy when the engagement to the cold, dangerously handsome Vincent Veyrault is already looming, Seraphina's infuriating angel-face innocence is stealing every spotlight, and two obsessively possessive brothers are circling like sharks who smell blood in the water. Can a sarcastic bookworm survive the deadly plot that killed the original villainess... or will she end up just as dead as the rumours promised? One thing's for certain: this time, the villainess refuses to play by the book.
The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete

Close enough to almost forget what he really is. And that's the trouble because deep down, I still know how it ends. If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything. That I was PLAYING the game. But no, not once was I ever the PLAYER.

Gunmetal glinted under the moonlight as the two stood facing each other-Elira, the daughter of kasim Ashrani, and Dante, heir to the Morenze crime family. Blood between their empires had flowed for years, but nothing compared to the fire raging between them now. "i should've killed you before" Elira hissed, stepping closer, her blade still dripping from the man she'd taken down-Dante's second-in-command. "You tried," he replied, voice low and gravelly, eyes scanning her every move. "But I'm still alive... after you stab me, my wild cat," Silence. Then- She surged forward, knife pressed to his throat. His hand went to her waist. Her breath caught. "I hate you," she growled. "Lie again.." he dared her, pulling her body against his. "I...I..hate you ", she shout. "Then hate me in my bed", he said before crashing his lips on her. The kiss that followed was brutal-teeth, blood, desire tangled in violence. Their worlds demanded war, but their bodies betrayed the truth. In the shadows of betrayal, under the veil of darkness, they found something far more dangerous than revenge: Obsession. And neither of them would survive it.Complete
