"She was just your average girl. Afraid to love and clumsily lovable...(no)...He was a powerful and intimidating gangster. Afraid to love and get hurt...(I said no--)But due to tragic circumstances they must now...(NO!)--sorry...they must now live together--" HELL. NO. Enough of those Wattpad romance scenarios! NO. NONONONONONO!

"Lovable and clumsy heroine?" Not here.
"Bad boy lover with a noble heart?" Non-existent.
"What about a fiery-tongued protagonist with a penchant for reckless but badass behaviour?" No. "Asshole gangster turned good?" No.
"What about a heroine with an exaggerated and tragic backstory that leaves her like a puppet incapable of love, until HE walks into her life?" 
What? NO! What a girl like that needs is some serious therapy. Enough of this "Intimidating Intimacy" nonsense! Real romance is nothing like that. (Except for maybe a few lucky people...T-T)
"But real romance is sometimes so boring..." Hey I never said this story would be boring! 
All you who enjoy a new kind of love story gather around...

AMAPOLA is a woman that holds no grief, no anger and no regrets. And yet, her smiles are as rare as her name. She had a happy childhood, maintains healthy relationships and has positive self-esteem. Emotions are just something she has learned to mute and ignore...what is the point? Love-shmove right? She is a well-known ice queen and cares little for exaggeration and spontaneity.  

RAZVAN is a man that fears nothing but fear itself. He is indebted to his great uncle for raising him and so he works under him, the greatest arms dealer in the western hemisphere. Our hero is a ruthless warrior with...a very clueless approach to love. He is spontaneously big-hearted, brash and charismatically outspoken. Who would not fall in love with him?

Take a guess. Or rather don't. Because this is a story for the new age of romance. Polar opposites have never been so at odds.All Rights Reserved

I look up to his face which was hidden behind a dark shadow and bit my lips as silence fell between us. "Who I am is none of your business," he said in a cold, husky voice that somehow caused me to shiver. A frown made it's way onto my face as I looked at the mysterious man who refused to tell me who he is. He stood tall in front of me as we fell into silence again but only for a few seconds before he began to slowly move towards me. His face slowly being exposed to the light, giving me a glimpse of his icy grey eyes. "let's go" he spoke again before turning around.

Dragon Blood by mwendlandt

"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future.

The Tyrant's Queen by coko_rose

"I am bored, my Queen. So, entertain me." ~ * ~ Young Prince Lucien of Aesna is more suited for the countryside than the royal palace of fatal mind games and seasonal assassinations. Despite being shunned for being born to a palace maid, Lucien practices utmost loyalty as a soldier, leading battles for his country. That's until one day, he's captured and tortured as hostage, then used as a bargaining chip for Aesna's enemies to get back a valuable piece of land. But there is no bargain- Lucien, almost promptly, is given up by his own country. Years later a bloody coup breaks out between the two princes of Aesna, leaving all men of royal blood dead or crippled. With two neighboring countries waiting to pounce on the destabilized nation, the royal officials get back Prince Lucien in exchange for the land he was given up for. They welcome the prince as king, remembering the soft-hearted and naïve boy and ready to easily control him as puppet king with bribes, flattery and threats. But the man they put on the throne, is more madman than king, more beast than human, heralding another bloodbath in Aesna. ~ * ~ To avoid being forced to work as a bar girl, May lives as boy "Toma" in a small town of Aesna. But one day a man offers to pay off all her debts- in exchange for marrying him. Little does she know he's the mad, new king of Aesna. ~ * ~ His callused hand cupped the back of her head and lifted her face. He wasn't harsh, but he wasn't gentle, either. The smell of the wine on his breath was hot on her face. "...You yourself know the answer, sire." Lucien's eyes slipped from her eyes, to her lips. "Oh, do I?" he growled. His mouth swooped in without any tenderness, and his hand seized and tightened around the back of her neck, yanking her close to him. ** "Are you done, sire? Or do you order me to love you?" ** Started uploads: 5 Aug 2022 -1K: 12 chapters uploaded, 3 Nov 2022
