QUEEN X ROYAL GUARD IN FANTASY ROMANCE

Queen Alethea of Endora, a kingdom in the continent of Verenthia, is entering the second year of her tenure. With the burden to redeem the royal family's reputation after the corrupt reign of her grandfather, she must face rumors of the mythical Zyvens, a human race imbued with magical powers, springing back into existence through a series of planned attacks across the Endoran Capital City.

After saving the queen from one such attack, Darien Freynard is named her personal guard and swears an unbreakable oath to protect her, and maybe with a little desire to kill her too. Between a queen trying to serve her people and her guard mirroring her every step, a forbidden desire inevitably brews, igniting a fire neither can ignore.

But duty and desire collide when one of them must confront the dark, hidden truth that could determine the fate of Verenthia, and discover whether their condemned entanglement may be the key to the realm's survival.

In a court brimming with whispered betrayals, ambition, and outlawed magic capable of tipping the balance of power, Alethea and her loyal guard must trust only their instincts and decide if their passion will become salvation...or ruin.

Whispers in Secret by NeeksNeika
30 parts Complete Mature
*** 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.

Her life changes when she receives a letter from her supposedly dead twin brother, Alaric, begging to be rescued from rival territory Leodia. For the first time since her friend's accident, Kayden is determined to be the hero, but she must learn to embrace her magic--and herself--along the way. Strange. Unnatural.

Forced into the queen's service, Zara wants to escape and return home, but she has nothing to offer the queen in exchange for her freedom. When Kayden arrives in Leodia, Zara sees the quiet girl with unique magic as the bargaining chip she needs. But the more she learns of Kayden, the more her feelings grow.
