The Dragon's Heart: Unspoken Passion

Princess Ilaria of Caelwyn was married for duty. Yet while her kingdom sees only politics, her heart beats for the man she has loved in secret for years. Determined to turn a one-sided love into something real, Ilaria quietly weaves tenderness into every moment, never knowing that behind courtly smiles and shifting alliances, her devotion may become both her greatest strength and her deepest undoing. ---×--- EXCERPT: "You're staring again," Levan muttered, not even bothering to look up from the document in his hand as he continued skimming through the request from his knights. "I'm allowed to," Ilaria replied, chin propped on her hands, her eyes gleaming like a cat who'd cornered her prey as she sat smughly right in front of his desk. "You're my husband." "That doesn't make it any less distracting." She grinned, tilting her head. "Distracting in a good way, I hope?" Levan finally glanced back at her, expression flat as ever. "No. In a very bothersome way." "Mm, liar," she hummed. She slid her arms onto the table and rested her chin on them, tilting her head just enough so she could peek up at him. Eyes twinkling. "If I was truly bothersome, you would've thrown me out of the room already." His lips twitched — the faintest, almost imperceptible crack in his composure. "Don't tempt me." "Tempt you?" she gasped softly, feigning innocence as her smile grew mischievous. "So you are tempted." Levan sighed, folding the paper closed. "You're insufferable." "And you're handsome," she declared proudly, blowing him a flying kiss as if she'd won a war. For a man who claimed to feel nothing, his ears betrayed him — flushed red against his raven hair as he quietly let her stay where she was.

A Curse (The Love Story) GL

A CURSE — A tale of secrets, love, betrayal, and destiny. Stories — many have heard them, read them, even lived them. But this… this is a tale unheard. A tale woven with shadows, secrets, and half-truths — where reality blurs and deception dances in plain sight. A tale from a world unlike any other: the enchanted realm of Seven Fairylands. 1. Frosthevan 2. Blushing Beauty Land 3. Sunflower Land 4. Crimson Cove 5. Skyland 6. Iceland 7. Lunaria Noir At first glance, a realm of beauty and magic. But behind its royal grace lie stains of blood and betrayal. In the heart of this world is Celeste, a pure and innocent fairy destined to become the Queen of Frosthevan. Unaware of the treachery surrounding her, she is ensnared in a grand conspiracy. And at the center of it all — Caelum, a mysterious soul who poses as a pixie, but is truly a fairy, burning with a hunger for power and control over the Fairylands. While Caelum chases a force that could make her invincible, her lies catch the eye of the wise Mother Fairy. But instead of punishing Caelum, the Mother curses Celeste — to protect the realm from what she sees as an impending doom. Betrayed, cursed, and torn between love and truth, Celeste rises in rebellion. She chooses love over fate — and steps into the human world in search of Caelum. But what is the secret only Caelum and the Mother Fairy know? Is Caelum truly the villain? Or is there another hidden truth waiting to be uncovered? A curse. A love story born in the shadows. A journey across worlds. Celeste must uncover the buried truths of the Fairylands — secrets that could shatter everything. Will her innocence survive the truth? Will she ever find the real Caelum — or only more lies? “A Curse” promises to keep you questioning until the very last chapter — How many secrets can one soul carry? Who’s truly right… and who’s devastatingly wrong?
