Not here for love, Not a hero either

Daphne Roasis is a modern day woman who travels back in time and wakes up inhabiting the body of a woman living in the middle ages. A noble born woman by the name of Lady Mariam of House Erayer. She's just gotten married is about to betray her new husband to please her secret lover who plans to kill her and her new husband once he's secured the man's station and fortune. Lady Mary is cruel, vain, selfish, stupid and gullible. She fully deserves her bloody end. But now Daphne is wearing her face. And her head is filled with memories as well as visions of the bloodbath that awaits them should the coup not be halted. Recognizing her circumstances and further struggling to understand them, Daphne realizes she was brought here to stop Lady Mary from committing an act of betrayal that would devastate the lives of hundreds of citizens. Her own people as she is now the wife of a Lord. At first, Daphne just wants to return home. Her circumstances are dangerous and she doesn't wish to bear this burden. She is in a foreign land, surrounded by people she does not know, a culture she doesn't understand, problems she did not create and in the body of a stranger. Each interaction with Mary's husband proves that he is a man of honor and would make for a very good partner for any woman lucky enough to bag him. She couldn't understand how Mary wasn't able to see his value and chose to hurt such a good man. Plus, he was insanely attractive. Daphne knows that Mary has already left a bad impression on her new husband with her rotten attitude and as such, he is not fond of her. Nor are any of the servants and knights. She decides the only way to create harmony and go about disrupting the coup is to come clean to the husband about who she is. Sir James Hamstead is completely baffled by his wife's sudden change in attitude. He doesn't know if she's trying to make amends for her mistakes or just playing games with him. He notices she's become much kinder towards his servants and no longer just yells at them. When she finally reveals her true identity, he's tempted to laugh it off as a bad joke. But she is adamant. She also reveals the coup that is about to unfold and the key players involved stating that Mary was one of them. She tells him of what will happen to his people should he fail to stop the takeover. Sir James is even more baffled, but now with a level of hostility. He doesn't believe Daphne's claims about her identity, but he does believe that she was indeed sent to be his weakness and destroy him. In a fit of rage, he has her thrown in the dungeons as he investigates her claims. The pair get off to a bad start, but Daphne knows she must be patient and understanding. It doesn't take long before Sir James comes down to interrogate her. At the persuasion of his personal knight, he agrees to move her from the dungeons and instead confine her to her bedchambers. Again. Soon credence of her claims come forward. It takes a while for James to believe she is not the woman who planned to betray him. It take even longer for him to believe that she wants to help him save his people. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months and before long romance blooms. James becomes very much attached to Daphne and acknowledges her as his real wife. He no longer sees Mary in her and hopes the other woman's soul never returns. Daphne too is having a conflict of interests. She's not here for love. Nor is she a hero. But now, it appears fate has thrust both upon her. How will she manage it?

Married to My Favorite Book Crush

Have you ever read a romance novel and wished you could marry one of the characters because of the big crush you have on them? A billionaire CEO? A hot cheerleader or ex-wife? A Mafia boss? A cute bad boy neighbor or bully? While you can only dream of it, fellow romance addict, Rhylan Hicks, got to live it. When eighteen years old Rhylan is forced by her father to enter a one-year contract marriage with a fat, sickly, older billionaire in exchange for a handsome settlement for her struggling family, Rhylan watched romantic fantasies of her dream spouse-built over a lifetime-crumble to her feet. With only days to spare before her wedding, and nothing left to lose, she indulges Readym, a mysterious book club in an old library which offered her one shot at picking her ideal man, either from any romantic novel ever written or by writing out his features and qualities in a magical diary she would be given and signing it to make him come alive. Rhylan chooses her all time favorite billionaire character to replace her distasteful husband to be. Her groom couldn’t have been more perfect. Her new life is luxurious. Her status goes from the ugly, fat girl to luckiest woman alive in the small town of Utopia to the bitter envy of her peers. Until…she starts to notice certain differences in her spouse that contradicts the features and qualities he ought to possess. Is there something the wish granting book club failed to disclose? What happens when her husband's scripted life as a novel character begins to clash with his new life in the real world, leading him to start asking burning questions about his true identity? How will Rhylan compete for his affection with his fictional love interest stuck in his head? Will Rhylan be able to keep her big secret and protect her fairytale life or will Calvin’s growing suspicion smother their fledging romance? Will she lose everything to the thorns that follow a wish that is too good to be true?
