Ryver cleared his throat. He didn't know why, but he was sure the girl was badmouthing him. Since their last encounter, maybe she was disgusted by him and never wanted to see his face again. He stared at Iva for a few more seconds before walking away.
"Go now... don't disappoint me... find the true meaning of living, and of course, a dress." He pushed the girl forward and turned, leaving her all alone.
"Love, art's best works spring from rough sketches and imperfect strokes. And trust me, the greatest artists know that imperfect sketches hold the essence of beauty. I've lived long enough to know that simple fades, but complex beauty endures."
"I can't be your meal..." Jacquelyn pleaded, trying to reason with the man who was supposedly her husband.
His grin widened, curling into a mischievous smile, revealing his razor-sharp fangs. "And why is that?" he asked.
Jacquelyn knew she had to use her brain with this one. "I am your wife... you can't eat me," she said, hoping to appeal to whatever humanity was left in him.
"Makes it even better," was his cold response.
Jacquelyn's legs trembled; she couldn't think of any culture or tradition where it was acceptable for a husband to eat his own wife. "And...."
"And?" He prompted, with an encouraging sweet smile.
"And I'm wet..."

VOLUME I: A Royal Mismatch: The Trouble With Prince Charming
From Royal Reject to Accidental Crown Princess: A Marriage of Convenience Gone Wrong.
Every girl dreams of being born a princess, right? Not Oriana.
Sitting on a little stool, waited on by hand and foot?
No thanks.
Freedom, adventure anything but the stifling expectations of royalty is what she craves. In fact, she'd rather be scaling the castle walls tonight than attending a stuffy soiree.
Luckily, she wasn't born to be the crown princess. In fact, she is the bane of etiquette tutors and the kingdom's resident "bad egg."
But fate, it seems, has a wicked sense of humor.
Duty throws Oriana into a political marriage with the infamous Crown Prince Adric of Avon. A notorious playboy known for his scandalous lifestyle and disregard for courtly decorum, Adric seems like the perfect escape hatch from her suffocating expectations.
Adric, on the other hand, couldn't care less who he marries. His reputation precedes him; a notorious playboy who thrives on defying expectations. But when the fiery Oriana crashes into his world of calculated indifference, sparks fly.
Will this forced union ignite a royal scandal of epic proportions or blossom into an unexpected love that challenges the very foundations of their kingdom?
_________
Oriana pressed her lips. "You don't want to do this. I'll hate you forever. I belong elsewhere, not here."
"I guess you're mistaken, Princess. You only belong in one place; where I am. You belong to me," Adric said, moving his free hand down. He traced his fingers down Oriana's neck.

"What you saw...did you enjoy it?"
The young girl turned her face away, avoiding the guard's eyes, as a familiar heat built up between her legs.
"Look at me...say the word...beg me to give you the release your body craves," the Royal guard commanded, his grin growing wider as he pushed her chin forward with his large palm.
"Why should I?" she replied, her voice firm. "It's men who beg women, not the other way around."
The guard chuckled, shaking his head. "Not in your case, I offered it to you the first time and your rejected...if you want it now, you'll have to earn it."

Lily gulped, it's the 'devil'. She said in her mind with her hands still trembling.
Raven picked the phone from the girl's hand, turning it off, he said, "You don't want to do that. Now run along and forget everything that happened here, little girl." His voice low and chilly to the bone.

Sunshine Meets Grumpy
He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions.
Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable.
One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?
(*NO RAPE*)
Kitanna stood still, not worried about the new person; she was worried about herself. The royal guard was shirtless and standing so close to her, with his body pinning hers. She was still trying to get her thoughts straight when she found herself being dragged onto the bed, with the guard on top of her. She raised her hands to push him, but he was faster. He caught both of her hands with one of his and pinned them above her head, using his other free hand to cover her mouth.
Kitanna felt blood rush to her cheeks, and the next words she heard sent her world spinning in 3D.
"Now, moan, princess..." Those words brushed against her ear, causing the hairs on her neck to stand.
.........
Set in historical times, in the ancient kingdom of Morado. A young princess, Kitanna, enjoys life to the fullest, living every day like the princess she is. But after an incident, she is left to only trust herself and her instincts in the palace, which was filled with betrayals and corruption.
A guard, who was trained to protect the crown, lived his life peacefully, killing when he was ordered to but never speaking to people around him until he crossed paths with the sassy and clumsy princess. Then everything changed.
If you enjoy dark humors, royal romance and betrayals. Then this book is for you.
