A Bride Most Begrudging Christian Romance

ILLICIT ROMANCE

Zelda Delacroix is no ordinary girl—raised in a world of affluence, power, and hidden secrets, she’s adopted into the prestigious Delacroix family, where appearances are everything and silence is survival. But beneath the surface of her new life lies a web of forbidden desire, fractured loyalties, and dangerous truths no one dares to speak. As Zelda tries to navigate university, dreams of becoming an architect, and the unrelenting expectations of the Delacroix household, she finds herself drawn to Lucien—the cold, enigmatic eldest son of the family who has always watched her from a distance. He’s off-limits, untouchable, and infuriatingly magnetic. Their connection simmers quietly, the tension growing more unbearable with each stolen glance and whispered word. But Lucien isn’t the only one watching her. The family’s secrets begin to unravel, and a forgotten brother erased from all records haunts the corners of Zelda’s life. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy that could shatter the Delacroix name—and cost her everything. Meanwhile, rivals emerge. Marcella, a cunning girl from another elite family, pretends to befriend Zelda while scheming to steal Lucien. And Delphine Vale, a petite and seemingly harmless classmate, hides sinister intentions beneath her sweet smile. Every step Zelda takes forward is shadowed by betrayal. With her budding friendship with the genuine and free-spirited Ariyah, and the quiet support of her adoptive brothers Berrett and Ryan, Zelda tries to hold on to her sanity. But as the line between protector and possessor blurs in her relationship with Lucien, and long-buried feelings rise to the surface, Zelda must decide: Can she survive the weight of a love that was never meant to happen? And in a house built on secrets… who will burn first?

Never A Frown: A Classical Romance Story

Never A Frown Inspired by the song "Golden Brown" by The Stranglers ★ ~Volume 1~ Aside from being a skilled modiste in the little town of Isolde—and giving her father and grandfather the best life possible—Esmeralda dreamed of being swept up in a love story so extraordinary that authors would write about it and readers would daydream over it. She had begun to give up on that dream, though, when the Grand Duke of Eldengale unveiled a wonderful opportunity for both the lowborn and highborn. There, Esmeralda met a man who stole her heart: aloof, handsome, and most of all—forbidden. Why forbidden? He was a bodyguard to the son of the Duke—a son who wanted Esmeralda as his wife. But Esmeralda didn’t want that life. She didn’t want to be royalty. But who could she even tell? And how could she tell anyone, when everyone—except the one man she loved—was blinded by the lure of wealth? ★ ~Volume 2~ "Marrying a socially high and wealthy man will save us all from problems." That had always been Mrs. Ashcroft’s teaching to her daughter, Jeanette. She was deeply invested in the belief that wealthy men were the best thing that could ever happen to a young maiden. It blinded Jeanette to the point where she automatically fell for any man—as long as he had money. It wasn’t the best way to see life, especially with someone like Esmeralda as a close friend. Now, at twenty-three, Jeanette is still unmarried. Her mother is growing increasingly frustrated, and Jeanette is tired of chasing wealthy men—especially when they aren’t looking for her. Then one stop at a high-end shoemaker's shop changed everything. He was rich enough. He had a good heart. He was funny, handsome, and could capture any woman’s attention with his wolfish smile. He was Logan—a man who, upon seeing Jeanette, decided he would make her his wife. Only, this Jeanette didn’t have a mind of her own and was still controlled by her mother.

The Second Bride

In the shadowed heart of the kingdom of Arvenhall, where noble blood hides monstrous secrets, Anna becomes the second wife to a man from the most powerful noble house in the land—the Evans family. Though they are not royalty, the Evanses are close enough to it, holding a grip over the court that rivals even the King’s. To the public, they serve the crown. But in private, they may be the ones ruling it. From the moment Anna arrives at the Evans’ manor, she knows something is deeply wrong. Perfection isn’t just expected—it’s enforced. Every word, every smile, every silence feels staged. Lord and Lady Evan, regal and cold, are revered and feared across the kingdom, their influence stretching far beyond their estate. No one crosses them. Not even the King. And the King... he is distant, untouchable, watching. A man whose tragic past should have broken him—but didn’t. Rumors whisper he’s just a figurehead now, but others say he’s simply waiting, biding his time. The truth? No one knows. Except perhaps the Evans. Or perhaps he knows more than he lets on. They are each other’s shadows—caught in a silent war of power and secrets, with Anna now in the middle. Then there’s her husband—the man who chose her. Too quickly. Too deliberately. His devotion is obsessive, his gaze lingering, his touch possessive. He claims to love her. But is it really love? Or is Anna something else to him—a vessel, a key, or a pawn in a darker scheme? As Anna begins to pull at the threads of her new life, she finds herself trapped in a gilded cage of manipulation, madness, and supernatural ties far older than the kingdom itself. In a house where nothing is as it seems, being the second wife might mean she was never meant to leave. Because in Arvenhall, some women are chosen not to be loved—but to be kept.
