Princess Lilian Tudor, heir to the English throne, must navigate two worlds: the strict discipline of the Spanish court and the dangerous intrigues of French politics. After her mother's death, her childhood is shattered, leaving her caught in plots, political alliances, and secret ambitions.
As a child, Lilian was promised in a betrothal to the Dauphin of France - the young Charles. Now, as he returns from Spain, their fates intertwine: first feelings stir between them, yet politics and family duty place invisible - and deadly - obstacles in the path of their love.
Friendship and betrayal, passion and intrigue - Lilian's story is about growing up, preserving honor, and becoming the key player in the game of two crowns.

Bound By Oath
Sir Henry is bound by honor, his sword pledged to defend the throne. Yet no oath could prepare him for the torment of desiring the one woman he is sworn never to touch-the king's only daughter. Princess Elena is beauty wrapped in duty, her every move watched, her fate already written in a marriage of power. But when her eyes linger on Henry's, when her voice softens just for him, he feels the chains of loyalty straining against the pull of something far more dangerous. Their love is not gentle-it is a hunger they dare not name. Stolen glances in the corridors, brushes of hands that linger too long, whispers in the night that burn hotter than fire. Every secret meeting threatens scandal, every heartbeat risks ruin. Yet neither can stop, for desire grows wilder in the shadows where no one dares look. As court politics tighten like a noose and betrayal stirs in the kingdom, Henry and Elena are forced to choose: deny the passion that consumes them, or surrender to it and watch their world collapse. For in a realm where love is forbidden, nothing is more dangerous than desire itself.

The killer princess and a snob
In the glittering heart of the Virellan Empire, politics is bloodsport and power is seduction. Princess Liora Valen, heir to the throne and secretly the Empire's most lethal assassin, walks a knife's edge between duty and desire. Trained from childhood to eliminate threats to the crown, she has become a whisper in the dark-feared, revered, and utterly alone. But everything shifts when the charming and insufferable Lord Cassian Thornwall-a nobleman too clever for his own good and far too arrogant for hers-discovers her secret. Cassian, a known social snob with a scandalous wit and a past cloaked in mystery, should be her next target. Instead, he becomes her reluctant ally... and her most dangerous distraction. Thrown into a conspiracy that could shatter the Empire from within, Liora and Cassian must navigate palace intrigue, buried secrets, and forbidden passion. But while one is trained to kill and the other trained to charm, neither is prepared for what happens when masks fall-and hearts are exposed. In a world where crowns are forged in fire and loyalty is a weapon, can a killer princess and an arrogant noble survive each other long enough to save the realm?Complete
Love, By Any Other Name
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.

The Weight of the Crown
**Previously known as The Caerwyn Chronicles** In a realm ruled by tradition and bound by blood, power is both a privilege and a curse. The Kingdom of Avarienne stands united under the High Throne-four provinces held together by oaths, legacy, and fear of what might follow should the crown ever falter. Yet behind palace walls, the final years of King Alaric IV's reign are marked by quiet fractures. Old wounds resurface. Noble houses maneuver for influence. And choices made in private begin to echo across the realm. As Alaric's daughter, Avelyne, rises to rule, she must navigate a court shaped by loyalty and loss, guided by her steadfast advisor, Lord Caiden, and shadowed by the sacrifices her family has already made. Her brother Rhen's forbidden marriage to a commoner-and his decision to walk away from crown and duty-tests the limits of blood ties and forgiveness. In time, even exile may not be permanent. Elsewhere, love continues to challenge the rigid order of nobility: Elenora, daughter of Prince Dorian, binds herself to a man born outside her station, while Lord Cedric Draven finds his future entwined with Lady Anya Farrow-Rhen's daughter-forcing the court to confront its own hypocrisies about lineage, age, and power. As heirs rise, loyalties shift, and the old rules bend under the weight of human choice, the struggle for the throne becomes deeply personal. Because in Avarienne, legacy is not simply inherited-it is forged through sacrifice, defiance, and love that dares to cross forbidden lines. A tale of duty and desire, of fractured families and quiet revolutions. The crown may endure... but at what cost? Book One of The Kingdom of AvarienneComplete
