Amid the glittering courts and whispered intrigues of late-nineteenth-century Estoria, the Season begins - a spectacle of elegance, envy, and quiet war.
Lady Isadora Ravenshade, orphaned daughter of a disgraced duke, enters society under the wary guardianship of her aunt, Duchess Beatrice of Ravensleigh. What begins as obligation soon becomes transformation, as Isadora's grace - unstudied, unpolished, and disarmingly sincere - unsettles those who rely upon artifice to survive.
Two princes will come to notice her: Lucien de Montclair, the charming Lysandrian diplomat whose words are as smooth as his smile, and Prince Sebastian Valemont, heir to Estoria's throne - reserved, observant, and drawn to quiet strength. Between them lies more than affection; there are treaties, rivalries, and a court that never forgives those who misstep beneath its chandeliers.
In a world where every glance can wound and every dance conceals intent, Isadora must learn that survival at court is not granted by beauty or birth - but by understanding the game itself.
Intrigue is its own kind of love story. And love, in the wrong hands, is the most dangerous intrigue of all.

Seductive Deception
Morgan Clayton, newly appointed earl of Whittington and former stable boy and soldier, knows absolutely nothing about life in the ton. What he does know however, is that becoming earl will open the door to marrying the one girl he fell in love with during his youth, Allegra Warren, lady of house Suttonbury. If only, he could find her... Fearless Allegra Warren is anything but the prim and proper debutante she used to be. In a series of fateful events, she has found herself on the flipside of London's social hierarchy and living in the underbelly of the city. Independent and self-made, she is a seamstress by day, but by night she is the mysterious and scandalous Madam Cerise, an underground guide to the life of the ton who disguises herself in mask and veil. Men with vast riches but no ancestral lines flock to her for her guidance on how to break through the ton's rigid standards and become one of them. But, wherever she goes scandal seems to follow and when Allegra and Morgan's paths collide; Allegra is faced with a heart-rending decision: should she tell him who she is and risk his fall from social grace, or should she keep quiet and help him find the lady of his dreams? And when the veils are lifted and the masks are removed, will Allegra and Morgan be strong enough to face the consequences of hidden secrets, rigid societal rules and forgotten memories in the name of their love?Tamamlanmış Hikaye

She was supposed to survive this place. Not fall for the one who could ruin her. He's the rule. She's the exception. And some lines-once crossed-can't be undone. - A forbidden love story set in the shadows of Crestmoor Academy. Secrets. Power. And a choice that changes everything. Not every story ends with forever- some leave a mark that never fades.Tamamlanmış Hikaye
Valenhart Academy
This story is currently being edited, it may not flow perfectly in some spots that are currently being edited. Thank you for your patience! Rowan Blake doesn't follow rules-she breaks them for fun. So when a psychosexual placement test ends in handcuffs and a court date, she expects jail, not an acceptance letter to Valenhart Academy, an elite and secretive institution where students learn psychology, power exchange... and the art of submission. Thrown into a world of contracts, collars, and complex dynamics, Rowan is determined to outlast the semester without bending to anyone's will. Especially not Theo Vale-the calm, unshakable upperclassman who steps in to supervise her beginner class. He's everything she resents: controlled, dominant, unreadable. And infuriatingly attractive. But Valenhart doesn't just teach obedience. It teaches truth-about desire, control, and the parts of yourself you'd rather ignore. As Rowan battles the system, her health, and her own rebellious heart, she'll have to decide what's more terrifying: surrendering control... or admitting she might actually want to. This is my first book so please let me know if you find any mistakes! I will try to upload daily if I can! #1-Dominate 5/28/25-5/29/25 #1- Chronicillness 6/4/25-7/9/25 #1- Medical 7/9/25
A Gentle Kind of Love
They say a lady's worth is measured by the curve of her smile and the silence of her thoughts. But Lady Elowen Everleigh has never fit inside the cage of a well-bred debutante. The fifth child of the powerful Duke of Ainsworth, Elowen is polished to perfection, laced into gowns she didn't choose, and paraded like a prize through London's glittering ballrooms. But beneath the silk and civility lies a mind too sharp for flattery and a heart that refuses to settle for anything less than love. When the enigmatic Marquess of Ravenshade, Lucien Blackmoor, offers nothing but a gaze across a crowded ballroom-and a letter unsigned by anything but truth-Elowen's world begins to tilt. He's everything she's been warned against: too principled, too noble, and far too dangerous for a girl with brothers like hers. He doesn't play by society's rules. And she no longer wants to. As courtships bloom and alliances tighten, Elowen must choose: obey the life laid before her... or write a new one with ink, will, and scandal. In a world of arranged vows and masked intentions, can a love so gentle ever survive the storm?
Boys Don't Cry
Crestwood Academy: where legacies are born, secrets are currency, and scholarship girls like Luna Ferreira don't survive - they endure. Luna's only goal is to keep her head down, ace her classes, and prove she belongs at the elite academy where power drips from every marble pillar. But the moment she collides - literally - with Arien Andersen, everything changes. Arien is cold, untouchable, and ruthless. He rules Crestwood like a king in designer suits, with a last name that makes professors flinch and students obey. He also has a best friend - Luna's brother - which makes him strictly off-limits. Too bad no one told Arien that. She's fire. He's ice. And in a school where loyalty is bought and enemies wear diamonds, one thing is certain: If Luna wants to survive Crestwood... she'll have to stop running from the boy who watches her like a storm about to break. And if Arien wants to keep his throne? He'll have to stop wanting the girl who could burn it all down.Tamamlanmış Hikaye

But to Isadora, he's a puzzle she can't stop trying to solve... even as his darkness threatens to consume her. Every promise comes with a cost. Every touch, a warning. And in the Moretti world, love is just another weapon - one that cuts deep enough to ruin them both.
