Addy has spent her whole life hidden away.
Born with a mark on her face and left with a limp after a childhood injury, she grew up believing the world had no place for girls like her. Safe at home and far from cruel eyes, she never imagined she would one day find herself in the kingdom-or falling in love with a boy who makes her feel seen for the very first time.
Ethan prefers horses to court life and spends his days at Ravenhurst, the sprawling stable estate he built for himself far from palace walls. As the youngest prince, he has no desire for power or politics-only the freedom to live as himself. Tired of being admired for his title instead of who he truly is, he never expects to meet a girl who sees him as simply Ethan.
Not the prince.
Their secret romance quickly becomes more complicated when rumors begin spreading through the kingdom that Prince Ethan has fallen in love. While curious whispers sweep through court, few realize how dire the situation truly is behind palace doors.
The aging king, haunted by the rebellion he survived decades earlier and fearful of threats against the monarchy, sees Addy as a risk the kingdom cannot afford. In neighboring lands filled with superstition and political ambition, a visible flaw could become a weapon in the hands of enemies looking for weakness within the royal family.
Then Addy is offered a miracle: a chance to erase the mark she has spent her life hiding.
As pressure mounts around them, Addy must decide whether changing herself will finally make her worthy of the life she wants-or whether loving Ethan means learning to stand in the light exactly as she is. Because for the first time in her life, Addy is beginning to wonder if she ever needed to be changed at all.

Solomon [COMPLETE]
"You don't belong here." "If I don't belong here then where do I belong?" "Not with me," he replied easily, his voice not wavering as he stared at her with a hard expression. "You belong with other wolves, with a pack." "But you're a wolf." "I'm not the kind of wolf that you need." "Sol," she begged him, pleading with her tone as tears streaked down her face. "Please don't do this." He ignored her, only turning around and walking out of the front door, already grabbing her suitcases which he had pulled down the stairs earlier. He walked out of the cabin which they had shared for the past few months and began loading all her bags into the back of the truck, ignoring the immense amount of pain and sorrow that he could feel radiating off of her. After he finished, he sat in the driver's seat and waited patiently for her to join him. When she did, her cheeks were now dry. Her puffy, red eyes were the only tell-tale that she had been crying only mere moments ago. "I'm only doing what's best for the both of us," he muttered quietly, more so to reassure himself than her. But his words fell on silent ears as she didn't even acknowledge his words, just stared ahead. Exhaling, he twisted the key and the engine purred to life. In a few hours it would be back in front of the lone cabin in the woods, but this time with one less passenger. Cover by @Ethereal29 Copyright © 2018 @_illuminating All Rights ReservedComplete

If I can't own you
When a ruthless crime lord hires a soft-spoken woman for what should have been a forgettable job, he expects compliance-not competition. She looks harmless: gentle voice, polite smile, eyes that seem too kind for his world. But innocence is her favorite lie. She knows exactly what she's doing. Every man who looks at her becomes a pawn, every touch an experiment in control. She collects attention the way others collect weapons-patiently, deliberately, without remorse. And when she grows bored, she discards them without a second thought. He has ruled his empire through fear, desire, and absolute dominance. Lust has always been easy. Jealousy has never touched him-until he watches her smile at another man. Until he realizes he wants her attention locked on him and him alone. The more men circle her, the more violent his need becomes. But she is no victim. Every woman who dares look at him too long earns her quiet fury. She memorizes names, studies weaknesses, and smiles sweetly while plotting ruin. Possession is not his alone to claim. What begins as mutual fascination turns into obsession. What becomes obsession twists into something toxic, devouring, and dangerously intimate. They don't fall in love-they collide. He finally meets his match in a woman who refuses to submit. She finds her equal in a man who refuses to let her go. In a world where power is everything, they are willing to burn empires, bodies, and themselves to keep each other-because if they can't be owned by anyone else, they will destroy anyone who tries.
