Celine Elowen has been raised and taught to be the graceful and perfect princess she is today. She has her mother's beauty, but the stubbornness of her father. She is destined to get married soon, as it has been what she's been trained for her whole life. How to play the role of the perfect queen and spouse for her husband to be, confined to a man she barely knew. The idea of living the rest of her life and giving an heir to a man she didn't know both irked and angered her to no extent.
Kael Dareth is a professional but serene royal guard who had been stationed to protect Celine, always be at her side. He fought his way up to his current position by nail and teeth, training every day to be the best of the best. He worked so hard to be here, but every day he is tortured. He holds the sword to protect her but doesn't wear the crown to love her.
What starts at glances that linger too long, or touches that hold a second longer than necessary become stolen moments in the palace gardens, slipping away at times to just be with one another.
Celine's father has a prince from another kingdom already set up to be betrothed to her. He's tall with broad shoulders, sharp jawline, and brown hair that frame his soft face. He's handsome nonetheless, but he isn't him.

Royal Scandal
One night. One mistake. One heir to the throne. Alina Evercrest is the youngest and only daughter of a noble house-kind, sharp-eyed, and devoted to a life far from royal intrigue. But after her coming-of-age celebration at the palace ends with her waking in the Crown Prince's bed, everything changes. Especially when whispers start, and her monthly cycle doesn't come. Prince Caelum is feared across the realm-lethal in war, ruthless in court, and entirely untouchable. He never intended to be tied down, especially not to the soft-hearted noble girl who's too clever for her own good. But the night they shared wasn't a scandal. It was fate. As tensions rise and enemies circle, Alina is thrust into the heart of royal power, where secrets burn and trust is rare. But she's not just surviving-she's outsmarting, outshining, and unshakably loyal to the man the world calls a monster... yet who worships her in the quiet. When love deepens, so does the danger. Because in a world built on bloodlines, politics, and power, nothing is safe-not even the child they never meant to create. He would kill for her. She would fight kingdoms for him. Together, they'll burn the old world to build their own.Complete
