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.

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

The secrets between us
Daniella Ophelia Jackson had always been invisible at Sterling Crest Academy, a school where legacy names and trust funds meant everything. With her golden-brown skin, hazel eyes that shifted color in the sunlight, and thick curls that framed her face, Daniella stood out in ways she never wanted to. But it wasn't her beauty people noticed-it was her quietness. She was the girl who sat in the library during lunch. The girl who corrected professors without realizing it. The girl who graduated top of every class without ever trying. A nerdy scholarship student in a school full of billionaires' children. And then there was Camden Declan Callahan. The golden boy of Sterling Crest. With emerald green eyes, black hair that always looked effortlessly messy, warm beige skin dusted with light freckles, and a reputation that followed him everywhere, Camden was everything Daniella wasn't. He was the captain of the hockey team, heir to the Callahan business empire, and the kind of boy everyone wanted. Except he only ever seemed to want her. Their story started quietly-late study sessions, teasing arguments over books, and Camden showing up to the library long after hockey practice just to sit beside her. By the middle of their senior year, the entire school knew the impossible had happened. The hockey king had fallen for the quiet girl with the brilliant mind. And Daniella had fallen just as hard. But Sterling Crest had never been kind to outsiders. What started as a harmless senior prank spiraled into something cruel and humiliating-something that made Daniella the center of a scandal she never deserved. By the time the truth came out, the damage had already been done. Brokenhearted and betrayed, Daniella transferred out of Sterling Crest and disappeared from Camden's life overnight. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence. Disclaimer: story is in the characters point of veiw and you are reading what they are seeing during that specific situation
