What can a slave girl do when she's but a pawn in a game of kings? Sent to infiltrate the enemy kingdom as the new bride of the King of Palandyre, Cinclair has only one goal in mind: the prize is her freedom, the price is his life, and the task is murder.
But the man she must kill ignites in her a fire she cannot quench, sends her blood racing with the first flash of his grin and the tilt of his brow, and it feels like a dagger in her gut to see him falling for a mask she wears and the lies she's spun, because one more day his passion grows means one less day that he may live. As stakes climb higher and the war drums pound louder outside the castle walls, the hour of his death draws unforgivably near.
But the heart cannot kill what the heart beats for... and her heart beats for his.

Venomously, yours
With the Kingdom Heir coming-of-age celebration fast approaching, the search for a match begins. It is decreed a dance will be held; an anonymous masked ball. !!! THIS STORY IS FOR A CONTEST!!! ~~~ 12 princes 4 weeks 1 choice What can go wrong? Everything! The last thing Elide wanted in her life was to choose her other half according to her father's rules. 12 princes from all over the Kingdom of Amaris and other kingdoms have come to test their luck... But nothing is easy for Elide, especially when her father has the right to make the final choice. But don't let that bring you down because Elide has a plan. She is going to escape this choosing... The news of 4 murders in one night has been spread all over the kingdom. That is nothing weird on a huge kingdom, right? Wrong! 4 princes have been murdered, no one knows who did this, people have chosen their suspects but nothing makes sense. The biggest question is how all 4 princes who were part of the forced-choosing were murdered. As if this is not enough more trouble lines itself in Elide's life, someone's behind her life. A trap is been set. Does she fall for it? Only time can tell. What happens with everyone is really hard to tell......but I can only give one warning: Appearances can be deceptive. ~~~ Co-written by me (@bo0k__nerd) and @shub2005Complete

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete

His eyes wander outside to the window. "You will address me as 'your highness' and I do not tolerate mistakes. I will punish you and you will never forget to follow my orders.
