An arranged marriage. A deal struck between a new King and Queen. Lies and acts to prove their reign to power hungry nobles. And a gravitational pull towards one another that neither can nor want to stop.

Alessia:
I left everything behind. My home, my brothers, and the boy I loved who was going to take me away from my father's control. However, all that changed the second my father shipped me off to France to marry their new and young King Darian. It's clear he carries the wait of his family on his shoulders. I know our marriage is a sham to appease his court and I am nothing but a pawn always being shifted around my father's game. But what my father doesn't realize is that he made a Queen in his deal. And I'll be damned if I fall for a king who may never love me back.

Darian:
I wanted nothing to do with this arranged marriage. But from the moment I saw her everything changed. In exchange for promising to never send her home at her request I got her to agree to playing the part of the happy married couple to appease the nobles trying to take my family's power. However, once I start falling for my beautiful and strange wife who can wield a bow better than anyone I know and never fails to surprise me I know things are about to get a lot more complicated. And I'm starting to regret ever making this a fake marriage in the first place.

"We never asked for this. Our lives were written by others, our hearts shackled to a contract neither of us wanted. But somewhere between the lies we told ourselves, we found something we never expected to feel-something dangerous, the truth ." Love was a luxury I never sought, never allowed myself to want. I built walls so high, pushing people away to keep them safe, only letting a few in for fleeting moments of pleasure. But when her parents demand an arranged marriage to unite our families, my father has no choice but to agree. Defy them, and we risk everything. I knew her already-knew the way the sun made her skin glow, the way her curly brown hair danced with every step she took. But did I like her? That was a whole different question. Our families' hatred ran deep, centuries of bloodshed and betrayal fueling the fire that had burned between us for as long as I could remember. The only reason I even tolerated her was because of her brother-my best friend. The one person I thought I could trust... until I learned I was never supposed to be his ally at all. Now, fate has forced us into a marriage neither of us wanted. It feels like a foreign limb, an unwanted tumor growing at my side, suffocating every ounce of freedom I had. The question is-can we both survive this? Or will one of us end up broken, shattered by the weight of what we never asked for? But somewhere along the way, the impossible happened: I fell for her. Completely. Undoubtedly. And now, I don't know if we'll make it out alive... or if we'll destroy each other in the process.

Arranged Marriage: The Prince and I

8 parts Complete Mature

"I will not listen to any more of your insolent behaviour boy. You brought this on yourself. You marked this young woman and now you must take her as yours." In that instant Ziza felt her heart shrivel, die and plummet deep into the bottom of her acidic stomach. Take her as his? Her hand in marriage? Surely the king wouldn't be so cruel that he would give her hand in marriage to his beast of a son. She just lost her job, lost her boyfriend, and was tortured by her half-siblings and their mother. And this was what she got-marrying a ruthless, cold prince who'd slapped her and insulted her?! Would she have even a glimmer of hope in this arranged marriage? ⚠️⚠️THE FULL STORY IS AVAILABLE ON READINK, WEBNOVEL AND ANYSTORIES⚠️⚠️ PS: I'm a romance ghostwriter.
