A Most Improper Love
"She crossed time itself to find a love society would never understand." ||WLW||Historical Lovers vibes|| Ivy Belladont has always lived for the stories that promise everything she's never had: candlelit ballrooms, stolen glances, and that breathless, rain-soaked kiss that changes everything. But her days are spent above her family's old bookstore, cataloging love she'll never risk for herself-until a mysterious patron gifts her a strange, never-seen-before book with a warning about choice, risk, and the true cost of romance. When Ivy opens it, she doesn't just read the story-she falls into it. She wakes in a world of glittering society balls and ruthless gossip columns, dressed in men's tailored trousers instead of a gown, forced to pass as an exotic foreign guest to explain away her every mistake. And at the heart of it all is Lady Violet Vale: society's flawless debutante, duty-bound to marry well, but hiding a reckless hunger in her eyes. Their connection is instant, electric, and entirely forbidden. In secret gardens and candlelit rooms, they trade confessions meant to stay buried, and risk touches that could destroy them both. Because love this improper is never safe-and Ivy will have to decide if she's willing to pay the price for the one thing she's always wanted: a love that dares everything.Complete

To everyone else, she's just a quiet girl with lowered eyes and pointed toes. But 𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗔𝗘𝗟 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗢 knows better. He sees the way her hands tremble. The way her smile doesn't reach her eyes. The way she obeys like she's afraid not to. And it pulls him in. She was promised to him-a contract sealed in blood, not love-and now she belongs to a man as cold as he is calculated and controlling. Rafael doesn't crave her affection. He isn't looking to be wanted. What he wants is to unravel her. To possess every piece of the girl the world calls delicate. But Ivory isn't fragile. She's fractured. And the closer he gets, the more she falls apart for him. In a world of shadows, power, and pain, their connection becomes something twisted. Addictive. Dangerous. Because when you give yourself to a monster... you don't get to choose what parts of you he keeps. And when control slips... Desire takes its place. And Rafael never loses.

He was honorable, sophisticated, and an ideal man, and she was a prostitute's daughter. A Crown Prince of unmatched grace and dignity, the very embodiment of righteousness but fell in love with a Harlot's heir he rescued. She was never meant to be his, yet she became his greatest weakness. A disciplined crown prince, bound by duty, and a girl with no place in his world-yet he broke every rule for her. What began as a rescue turned into an inescapable bond, an obsession neither could deny. But love isn't enough when fate, power, and betrayal stand in the way. As she rises, he falls, and the world forces them apart. A tale of forbidden love, fate, power, heartbreak, and redemption-this is the story of a girl who was never meant to belong to a crown prince, and a crown prince who could never let her go. • Young and naive (not dumb) female lead x Mature and kind Male lead. • Male lead is a total green flag! • Male lead breaks all his principles and ideology just because he is in love with the sweet innocent girl who is totally clueless of how much she makes one of the most powerful person in the kingdom weak. • Journey of love, passion, heartbreak, seperation, comedy, forbidden romance and dramas! (I am not very good with writing bio as if I write further than this then I would spoil so many twists, but I will recommend the readers to give this book a shot if they want to read something with ACTUAL PLOT, emotional rollercoaster, ULTIMATE SEXUAL TENSION with Passionate smuts like cherry on top) Regular and consistent update ☝🏻 (Cover image stickers are taken from Pinterest)Complete
Lioness
Evony Orléans, daughter of King Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, is not an ordinary girl. Being a princess can do that to a person. Unfortunately, being royalty isn't all fun and games, a hard truth that seems to keep punching her in the face. This is especially true with 10 siblings and a group of students starting a rebellion in the streets of France. Things get a lot worse when said rebellion's dashing leader catches her eyes, but what's a princess to do when in love with a rebel? Simple: Lead a double life. Sadly, double lives aren't all they're cracked to be, as she soon discovers, and not easy either. Will she be able to love Enjolras and keep up a facade, or will she have to return to royal life? Will love win out or will the crown fall? Whatever she chooses, it will take incredible strength and courage, and between possible execution for treason, deadly barricades, and a couple assassins, she will have to be a lioness to come out of this alive. Disclaimer: Set with Les Misérables by Victor Hugo as a heavy influence. I only have created Evony Orléans and various unnamed characters. All other characters were real people and I have created my own impressions of them.Complete
Whispers in Secret
*** A Steamy Romance *** Ella Montgomery is a fiercely determined law student at Oxford University, juggling her ambitious studies while harboring an undeniable secret crush on Lucien Storm, her father's charismatic best friend. From the moment she first laid eyes on him, Lucien's magnetic presence ignited feelings within her that she desperately tries to suppress. She understands that her future hinges on her education, not on the fantasies of being swept away in his arms. Unbeknownst to Ella, Lucien is equally captivated by her. As the head of a powerful mafia family and a trusted friend of her father, he finds himself torn between his growing desire for the spirited young woman and the weight of his responsibilities. The forbidden nature of their feelings creates a tension neither can ignore, even as they try to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Lucien often finds himself lost in fantasies, imagining the feel of Ella's warm body against his, her nails tracing the intricate tattoos that tell his story, and the way her mouth would taste against him. Each thought is both intoxicating and torturous, as he grapples with the consequences of pursuing a romance that could shatter the bonds of friendship and loyalty. As they both navigate their intense emotions, they face the daunting question: Can love flourish in the shadows of secrecy and loyalty, or will their desires lead to heartbreak and chaos? Their journey will test the limits of their hearts, challenging everything they thought they knew about love, power, and the sacrifices they're willing to make for a chance at happiness. In a world where danger lurks at every corner, Ella and Lucien must decide if they are brave enough to confront their feelings, or if the pain of unrequited love will ultimately consume them both.Complete

Join: https://discord.gg/T8QQhdwunG ────────────────────────── Alternative Title: The Second Male Lead's POV (in an Otome World) ────────────────────────── Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke's daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. Up until now, his only risks were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. Now, he was breaking the nobles' rules. And it backfired, horribly. Not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown A/N: Based on otome romance novels, but from the second male lead's POV, who the heroine never chose. And no, the heroine isn't the duke's daughter.
