An arranged marriage, a destitute bride, and a groom who loves another woman.
What on Earth could go wrong?
*****
Ida Weaver never had anything to her name.  She was born a lowly serf and the illegitimate daughter of the lord to boot, and though she quietly longs for something else, she does not complain. She knows her life could be much worse.
But a desperate knight offers Ida a new life, with everything that she has ever wanted. The price? Marriage to his youngest son. 
Ida decides it's worth it- and after meeting her groom, realizes that he is in love with someone else. Classically, his father disapproves of the match. Jacob is Ida's only chance at happiness, but is she his?
Ida wants to make things right, but how? Every rose has thorns...

31 capítulos Concluída
Sequel to "Escape from the Witch Hunters" Jack kept walking towards her and Ami kept backing up until finally she hit the wall. "Why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" he had an arrogant smile on his face and he got closer to her. "That." she nodded towards his closing in on her. Her breathing and her heart beating picked up speed. "Is it wrong for me to want my own wife?" his own body was nearly pressed against hers and he rested his head between her head and shoulder. "It is when you, just days before, resented the very fact that I was alive." she closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing. "Maybe I've had a change of heart." he looked at her. She looked at him with her blue eyes. "I don't think so." "What if I said I loved you?" he whispered hoarsely. "I wouldn't believe you." she rested her head against the wall as her heart pounded in her ears. His eyes flashed, then he viciously grabbed her by the waist, pulled her close to him, and his lips crashed onto hers. ~~~ Andromeda Aurora Amélia the Third had dreaded the day she turned sixteen, as she would have to be married to the very snobbish boy, Prince Jacques. They had met only once before, and they had not gotten along in the slightest. She hadn't wanted to play ball with him. He got mud on her favorite dress. She was a ninny and didn't like petty lizards. He was a snob who hated anything in a dress. What happens when they're forced to marry? Will the alliance go through? Will Jack drive Ami crazy enough for her to return home? Or will they work out their differences for the sake of their two countries?

{WATTYS 2020 WINNER} {FEATURED BOOK} Paris, 1663. 500 girls selected by King Louis XIV embark on a journey across the seas from their homeland. Each is given a dowry, and the expectation that they are to marry a French settler, in order to increase the population of New France. They are the historic Daughters of the King, or "les filles du roi." Eighteen-year-old Celeste Dubois is a free-spirited, educated and headstrong girl. She comes from a wealthy Parisian family that has squandered their money and is subsequently forced to journey to New France. However, Celeste doesn't plan on marrying a complete stranger. She hopes to use the dowry and the free voyage as a way to escape the poverty and social ranks of Paris. Matters are complicated when against her will, she falls in love. Romantic, kind and stunningly beautiful Lorraine Leblanc is a girl from a large family with children to spare. Unlike Celeste, she happily dreams of the day she will meet her future husband in New France. When she marries a mysterious widower with two young children of his own and still reeling after his broken heart, she realizes that married life isn't all she had hoped it would be, and begins to question her new husband's complicated past. - Wattpad Picks Blast to the Future Past list 2018 - The 50 Best Wattpad Stories of 2018/19 by Design Wizard - 2018 Youngblood Awards Winner (Romance) - 2018 True North Awards 2nd place for Historical Fiction and 2nd place Truly Canadian special category award - Featured by Wattpad Historical Fiction profile under Kings, Courtships and Empires, Young Adult Fiction profile under Love, Actually and Romance profile under Time will Tell *Please be aware that since this book covers the colonial period, it does contain sensitive themes of racism and violence that readers will find disturbing.

He didn't expect to fall for her himself. She was beautiful, but was she as pure as she looked? If so, why was she slinking off into dark corners with a mystery man at a monumental risk to her reputation? Why couldn't he get her out of his head? Ah, such thick, silky dark hair, pale alabaster skin, and lips that invited kisses and sin. All Lady Evelyn ever wanted was to uncover the mystery surrounding her illegitimate birth. It's a stain that haunted her all her life. But when she found herself married to the domineering and jealous Lord Davenport, he put a stop to her pursuit that's already placed her in danger. Undeterred, she continued to do so in secret. But her husband must have discovered her disobedience, for he turned cold and distant overnight. She couldn't have known the capricious stranger she married had unspeakable secrets he couldn't reveal. Desperate and confused, she sought help and advice where she could to win him back. Only the friends she trusted aimed to destroy her instead. Unbridled passion always exacts a heavy price. Friendships ruined. Familial bonds severed. How could happily ever after be possible when every smile hid hearts filled with duplicity? ******** Tag ranking: #1 lovehate #3 duplicity #6 darkfiction
