He Chose His First Love—So I Went Back to Mine
Clara Bennett stayed when Adrian Cole had nothing. She married him after his family empire collapsed, lived with him in a freezing basement, faced his creditors, and lost their first child protecting him. Five years later, Adrian is a billionaire again—and the woman who abandoned him has returned. Vanessa does not merely want Clara's husband. She wants Clara's home, reputation, business, and place in the Bennett family erased. When Adrian excuses every attack and chooses Vanessa even with Clara's life at stake, Clara finally stops waiting for him to remember his promises. She files for divorce, protects the company she built, and disappears from the life they shared. But Adrian has never known the real reason Clara married him. He does not know whose life she was trying to save—or why the old silver ring hidden beneath her clothes matters more than every diamond he ever gave her. By the time he discovers the truth, Clara may already have returned to the man she was forced to leave behind.

Crowned in Dragonfire
On the night Crown Prince Cassian marries another woman, his new bride demands the ultimate proof of devotion: he must drink a poison that will end his bloodline forever. But Elara Veyne—the disgraced daughter of the imprisoned Royal Astronomer—knows the poison will not take full effect until dawn. Once Cassian's intended bride and now a servant in his palace, she offers him one final bargain: give Valedorn an heir, and grant her father a new hearing. One month later, Cassian is sterile—and Elara is carrying the kingdom's only Crownmarked child. The court calls her a schemer. Dragonfire names her something else. As ancient magic awakens around the unborn heir, Elara discovers that Crown Princess Celeste did not simply cross worlds to find true love. She brought a hidden power with her—one that feeds whenever a prince chooses desire over duty. Now Celeste wants Elara's child, Cassian wants the truth buried, and the kingdom itself is beginning to bleed. To save her father, her baby, and a crown that may already be cursed, Elara must turn every humiliation into evidence—and survive the royal family determined to erase her.[Updated to: Chapter 11] -
