ᴇᴄʜᴏᴇs ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴏᴜsᴇ ᴏғ ʟᴀᴜʀᴇɴᴛ |
In the gilded and volatile world of nineteenth century Tuscany, where noble titles carry more weight than conscience and desire moves beneath the surface of every formal gathering like current beneath still water, Corinna arrives at the Laurent Estate with dark eyes, a past carved by grief, and a beauty so complete it rearranges every room she enters. She is a Black woman who has traveled far from the shores that raised her, drawn to Tuscany following her grandmother's death and the need to begin somewhere that does not already know her name. The Laurent Estate is one of Italy's most storied noble houses, its ancient stone soaked in wine and older scandal, presided over by Count Alexandre Laurent, a man of devastating composure and barely contained feeling who is formally betrothed to the cool and calculating Sophie Beaumont. What builds between Corinna and Alexandre across harvest seasons, candlelit cellars, masked balls, and crackling family ruin is a slow and punishing accumulation of desire that neither can outrun. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R.

What Was Once Broken
Princess Anastasia of Grierden was born to rule. Fierce, intelligent, and the daughter of the most powerful queen in the realm, she never questioned the war that severed her kingdom's alliance with Branxton-until she was kidnapped by Malcolm Brutvus, heir of a forgotten nation. What begins as a desperate hunt for Branxton's lost treasure quickly unravels a far greater truth. The war wasn't what it seemed. The betrayal wasn't real. And her father-the man she once idolized-wasn't the villain history made him out to be. Bound by fate and circumstance, Anastasia and Malcolm must set aside their differences to reclaim what was lost. But alliances don't mend overnight, and neither does the heart. As Anastasia finds herself falling for the very man she once called her enemy, she faces an impossible choice: honor her kingdom's past or forge a new future alongside the one person she shouldn't love. Enemies by history. Lovers by fate. Royals by duty. And this time, their choices will shape their world.Complete

Green Garden (Amor #1)
{Editing In Progress} Thor Siegmund just wanted a break from the noise of the gala being thrown at his family home. The gardens have always been a place of peace for him. He didn't expect to be interrupted by a wandering guest. He also didn't expect to be so smitten by her. Amara Gawoni was just a plus one to the Siegmund gala. She decided to take a breather and admire the grounds. She didn't know she would come across the noble host' son nor that she would connect with him in a natural way. Literally. A short story about a rugged English aristocrat and beautiful American expatriate that Nature itself brings together for a night and a day. (This story is the product of a writing exercise, a way for me to overcome my block. I didn't expect to create an actual story. I was inspired by Thor/Ororo fanfiction and ABC's Still Star Crossed so Chris Hemsworth and Lashana Lynch served as inspiration for Thor and Amara.) Amor © All Rights ReservedComplete
