Ruby Dixon Fire In His Blood

Crescentia’s world shattered the day her parents died in a car crash. As if losing them wasn’t enough, her uncle and aunt stole their will, seized all their properties, and threw her and her little sister out of their own home. Then came the ultimate betrayal—her boyfriend, Lucian, dumped her the moment she lost her wealth, only to get together with her cousin. “You know my family can’t accept you as my girlfriend anymore because you’re poor now,” he said, his hands wrapped around her cousin’s waist. Thinking nothing would make her feel worse, her little sister fell gravely ill once again, needing urgent medical care. Desperate, Crescentia begged her aunt and uncle for help, only for him to sneer and suggest she sell her body if she needed money so badly. “Noella is not the first child in the whole world to die due to a disease. If you need money so badly, try being a hooker. I hear it pays well. You’re twenty and an adult so you can’t be the cause of someone's arrest.” Her aunt and uncle laughed at her. With clenched fists, she promised, “I’m going to take back everything you stole from me. And once I find evidence that you’re the ones who killed my parents, I’ll make sure you regret ever being born.” Devastated and lost, she decided to work at a club, not as a hooker but as a waitress. However, a car nearly ran her over while she was deep in thoughts. Furious, she cursed at the driver, unaware their paths would cross again. At the club, she spotted him. Unable to resist, she intentionally spilled a drink on him. Crescentia’s little sister’s health deteriorated even more, forcing her to reconsider. But when she arrived at her first booking, she was horrified to discover that her client was none other than the man she had insulted—and soaked in champagne. “Why are you glaring at me like that? You look like you’re plotting my murder,” Damian mused, a smirk playing on his lips. “Or do you want to throw another drink in my face?” He handed her a glass of champagne. “Go ahead. I dare you.” With rage burning in her eyes, Crescentia didn’t hesitate. She grabbed the glass and splashed it all over him. But what happens when he decides to help her with her revenge, while she gives him more of herself?

Is she even capable of falling in love all over again?

What's worse than being born as the fourth princess of a Dragon-Born family? Being born with a peculiar appearance and no powers? No, that's easy. What's worse is when you're shipped off to marry a man you've never met, for the safety of your people. A man rumoured to be death himself. *** Mirelah’s life was simple. As the youngest of four sisters—and the weakest, born without the magical power of her dragon-born lineage—her only duty was to be the perfect princess. She followed every rule. Never spoke out of turn, mastered the art of grace, and perfected every class... Except for self-defence. She accepted and appreciated the fact that she would never get to bear the heavy weight of a queen's crown. However, that dream crashed when an unexpected marriage proposal arrived for her from the most powerful kingdom in the realm. Forced into a union with a bloodcrafting prince she has never met, Mirelah is thrown into a world of secrets, curses, and treacherous plots. She discovers that her mysterious husband is CURSED, and she so happens to be the cure to her husband’s vicious curse... Battling to survive the new, dark world of another kingdom, Mirelah must fight to hold on to who she is... and maybe even discover new things about herself. What if her peculiar appearance has always been a pointer to the dangerous power that lay dormant within her? What if she was the true Mother of Dragons prophesied of in legends aeons ago? What if her husband's curse was the key to unlocking her powers? And what if the both of them shared a connection that ran deeper than they could ever imagine? A connection that made them a deadly combination that was never meant to mix. *** "You will not survive the Varkaines. "Her words run down my spine like a chilly spring, and I feel the hairs on my skin rise. "When they manage to break and ruin you, I'll be there. There to laugh in your face for thinking you could steal my dream from me, Miri. You will pay for what you've done. "She adds, and my heart begins to pound against my rib cage, at the venom in her words. "Wh-what?? "I whisper in shock, and she scoffs. "You can fool everyone, Mirelah. But not me. If you didn't want this marriage, you would have fought against it. But you put up a little drama and then accepted the proposal. You stole my dream. My chance to marry the man I have spent months preparing to be with. "She replies, and I exhale in disbelief. "Don't think I will take it lying down. You will pay "She concludes, and my jaw drops. I have always known Azra to be entitled but this level of narrow-mindedness... Is her anger so hot, that it's refusing her access to proper logic? What's my fault in any of this!?

"I will touch the stars... or die trying." ==================== Note: NO R-18, R**e, Romance or pre-marital handholding. I take no pleasure in writing such things. There's a bunch of killing and gruesome descriptions though. The novel is a bit slow in the first chapters, but after that, it picks up and gets significantly better. Also, the power system is similar to BotDS, but I've asked the author for permission to use it. It's also heavily inspired my writing, but the beginning is where its most prevalent.
