A princess sent across borders.
A prince who expects obedience.
And a custom that was never meant to be revived.
When Maude-Iris of Caelwyn is promised to the crown of Halcrest, she knows her fate has already been decided. She will be dressed, delivered, and displayed-another treaty sealed with a woman's body.
Instead, she arrives veiled.
Reviving an ancient Caelwyn tradition, Maude-Iris refuses to be seen until the altar, defying a court unaccustomed to restraint and a prince unaccustomed to refusal. Hidden behind silk and shadow, she speaks only when she must-and every word carries weight.
Prince Eames of Halcrest demands answers. He demands compliance. What he receives instead is silence, ceremony, and a presence he cannot command nor fully know.
As tension coils within the palace and whispers follow her every step, Maude-Iris discovers that there is power in withholding-and danger in being desired without being seen.
A heart, unyielding is a story of quiet rebellion, contested authority, and the fragile line between duty and defiance-where the most dangerous thing a woman can do is remain unseen.

A LOVE TOO LATE
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING ❤️ This story is currently marked Complete, but please note that the latter half of the story is a temporary/current version. After my exams, I will be rewriting the second half of the story, including the redemption arc, because I feel that some emotions, character development and the deeper message I wanted to convey were not expressed strongly enough through my writing. The current version will remain available for now, so new readers are welcome to read it as it is. ❤️ The rewritten version will have stronger emotional depth, more developed character growth, and a more gradual and clearly earned redemption, so that the storyline and its intended message are conveyed better. Please keep this in mind before starting the story. ❤️ Thank you for reading and supporting my work. 🫶🏻 ..................

Every Time You Looked Away
Scarlet Rogers never believed in second chances... not for love, and certainly not for the man who once broke her heart like it meant nothing. When her ex returns to their friend circle with a new girl on his arm and that same smirk on his face, Scarlet does the unthinkable. She kisses Asher Ellesmere. Quiet, unreadable Asher. The man who sketches the world in silence, speaks in shadows, and watches everything like it's a story worth telling. Their lips meet under the salty breeze of a beach bonfire, and just like that, a lie is born. They'll pretend. For a month-long holiday soaked in sun and wine, laughter and late-night swims, they'll hold hands, share blankets, and trade glances meant to burn. But somewhere between pretending to smile and actually meaning it, between stolen kisses meant for show and the soft way his fingers brush hers when no one's looking, Scarlet begins to wonder... What if this lie feels more like home than the truth ever did? As the days stretch and the waves keep time, hearts tangle in quiet moments. And by the time the ex starts to notice... Scarlet's not sure she even cares. Because Asher...soft-spoken Asher, who never asked her to fake anything...is starting to feel like the one thing she never knew she needed.Complete
