The Ranaway Wife

When powerless, unfavoured Princess Soleia was arranged to marry the newly titled Duke Orion Elsher, she assumed they would find love eventually. Who knew that her father would send off her husband mere hours later to fight a war? Soleia was left alone to deal with an impoverished fief, a crumbling estate, and spiteful, vindictive relatives of the Duke who all wished to see her gone. She couldn’t leave― there was nowhere else to go. Soleia desperately wanted her husband to return so he could offer her a helping hand. However, when he did, he returned with Elowyn, a woman he claimed was his true love. A woman hellbent on taking her place as the rightful Duchess, no matter what she had to do to get Soleia out of the way. Mistreated, misunderstood, and miserable, Soleia was eventually thrown out of the estate she helped build. Fortunately, when one door closes, another one opens. Unknown to Soleia, a man more powerful than her husband had been watching her, waiting for the right time to snatch her into his gilded cage. Duke Elsher had been foolish to let go― but the crown prince of Raxuvia wouldn’t make the same mistake. *** [Excerpt] After two long years, Soleia's husband had finally returned home. But he was not alone. “Your Grace,” Soleia said, trying her best to maintain a calm tone, “welcome home. How were your travels?” The man remained silent as he stared at her. “Oh,” the woman that Soleia's husband had brought back said. “I was just wondering where the servants were. No one has come to greet you since your return. Could you please help us bring―” Orion tugged the woman back, protectively holding her in his embrace. His eyebrows furrowed as he glared at Soleia, his sudden action causing the woman to look confused at him. “Orion?” she asked, her hands on his chest to steady herself. “What’s the matter?” “That’s not a servant." In one swift motion, he threw the sword out at Soleia, only to be stopped by a flash of scarlet and the coppery scent of blood. *** Prequel to Stolen by the Rebel King.

“Marriage is a game of power, some fight to win, others fight to destroy. But when two people refuse to surrender, the only thing left is war.” Daniel Smith had it all—money, power, and the kind of devastating charm that made women weak in the knees. He was untouchable, unstoppable, a man who played by his own rules. Until his family forced him into the one thing he never wanted—marriage. Regina Green was no delicate rose. Sharp-tongued, bold, and dangerously unpredictable, she knew how to strike where it hurt. If Daniel wanted a battle, she was sure to make certain that he regretted ever stepping onto the field. Neither of them would bow. Neither of them would break. Their marriage was a battlefield drenched in tension—where every glance was a challenge and every argument pushed them closer to a line they swore they’d never cross. Hate was their language, desire was their weapon, but falling for each other? That was never supposed to be part of the plan.
