Atticus Finch

Today's Kind of Fairytale

Clara, a fiercely independent graphic designer and new single mother to adorable baby Leo, is on the brink. With a career-defining project looming and her childcare plans in smithereens, she’s out of options and almost out of caffeine. Across the hall in their vibrant Artisan’s Quarter apartment building lives Ethan, a meticulous, career-driven architect whose perfectly ordered world is as sleek and minimalist as his ambitions are grand. He needs a “stable partner” image—fast—to clinch a make-or-break partnership at Sterling & Finch. A desperate situation calls for a desperate solution: the "Project Co-Habitation & Career Advancement Mutual Assistance Pact." It’s a hilariously formal, strictly platonic agreement where Ethan becomes Leo’s weekday caregiver in exchange for Clara playing the role of his devoted partner at crucial work events. Lines are drawn, rules are made (mostly in a shared, sarcastically annotated Google Doc), and disaster is meticulously planned for. But as Bridgewood City buzzes around them, and baby Leo’s innocent charm works its magic, the carefully constructed walls between Clara and Ethan begin to crumble. Late-night baby duties turn into shared laughter, business arrangements blur into unexpected tenderness, and the undeniable chemistry simmering beneath their witty banter becomes too potent to ignore. Can their unconventional pact survive the intrusion of real, messy emotions? Or will the fine print of their deal be hilariously rewritten by a love that was never part of the plan? "Today's Kind of Fairytale" is a witty, heartwarming contemporary romance about unexpected love, the beautiful chaos of modern parenting, and finding your own version of happily ever after, right where you least expect it.

Married to the Demon Duke

As the Remington family teetered on the precipice of financial ruin, weighed down by the Marquess's colossal debts to the formidable Grand Duke Atticus Ravenswood, a chilling proposition emerged. In a desperate attempt to alleviate his burden, the Marquess offered his delicate daughter, Blanche Remington, as a means of appeasement. However, the intricate web of aristocratic ambition extended far beyond this transaction. Grand Duke Ravenswood, driven by his own desires, orchestrated the demise of his wife, intending to secure his future through a strategic remarriage to the captivating Lady Ophelia Breckenbridge. Yet, Ophelia, already the object of fervent admiration from the handsome Crown Prince Iain Barnes, would ultimately reject the Grand Duke's suit, choosing instead to unite her life with the Crown Prince. Consumed by unrequited longing, the Grand Duke would eventually meet his end in a desperate, ill-fated attempt to claim Ophelia as his own. This dramatic tapestry of love, ambition, and tragedy formed the beloved narrative of thirty-two-year-old South Korean worker Yujin Park's favorite novel. However, fate took a cruel and unexpected turn when Yujin's life was tragically cut short during her walk home. In a bewildering twist of destiny, she awoke to find herself inhabiting the very world she had only read about, reincarnated as Blanche Remington a mere year before the character's demise. Now faced with the daunting reality of her fictional fate, Yujin recognized the urgent need for self-preservation: a divorce from the powerful Grand Duke. Yet, a perplexing obstacle arose. Despite his apparent indifference, the Grand Duke refused to grant her freedom. Bewilderment clouded Yujin's thoughts as she grappled with this unexpected resistance. Why would a man who seemingly held no affection for Blanche deny her a separation? What intricate machinations lay hidden beneath the surface of this familiar yet suddenly alien world?

Julian felt the heat radiating from Maximillian's body, his own heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs. Only a whisper of space separated their lips from each other. Maximillian's voice was a husky sigh against Julian's mouth. "If you don't want this, push me away." The challenge hung heavy in the air, but Julian met it head-on. "I do," he whispered, his voice thick with desire.

Stolen by the Rebel King

As a princess who could not wield magic, Princess Daphne’s only value to her kingdom was her arranged marriage. The task was simple, but when Daphne was kidnapped and brought to the cold mountains of Vramid, she realized that she was in over her head. She had heard of these cursed mountains before― rocky terrain, freezing temperatures, and the land was ruled by a man feared by many within the continent. King Atticus Heinvres, the blood-thirsty ruler of the North. Even though she had never met him before, tales were spread of King Atticus’s ruthlessness. Some said he was a monster, others claimed he was the devil himself, but whatever the story was, everyone knew of the man who had powers beyond anyone’s imagination. He could topple armies and crumble nations with just one wave of his hand, aided by what others rumored to be a cursed obsidian ring. No one outside of Vramid had ever met the fearsome king before. Not until Daphne. However, upon meeting the formidable man, Daphne found out that the king might not really be the monster others had claimed him to be. In fact, what was hidden under that obsidian shield could just be a diamond in the rough. ― [Excerpt] “Now… where should I put you both?” he asked casually, not expecting a reply. “It’s regretful that I only have one chandelier.” “Underneath my bed? No, no, too dirty. My dust bunnies don’t deserve this,” Atticus mused to himself. “The mantlepiece? How about the vanity table? I suppose if I lop off one of your heads I could mount it over… Wife, which head do you want to stare at while you do your hair?” “Atticus!” Daphne screamed. “I don’t want any heads! Let them go.” “Fair enough.” Atticus shrugged, and flicked his fingers. There were two identical cracks as both necks snapped at once. Daphne gasped, horrified. This man, her husband, had just killed two men with a flick of his finger, as though he was snuffing out candles. “I told you to let them go!” Daphne cried out. “Yes, I let them go,” Atticus said. Then, his eyes darkened. “To receive divine judgment from the heavens.” ― Discord Server: https://discord.gg/7HAMK2bRYU Spin-off/Prequel: The Hidden King's Stolen Wife (WIP)

Vom Rebellenkönig gestohlen

Als Prinzessin, die nicht zaubern konnte, bestand Prinzessin Daphnes einziger Wert für ihr Königreich in ihrer arrangierten Ehe. Die Aufgabe war einfach, aber als Daphne entführt und in die kalten Berge von Vramid gebracht wurde, wurde ihr klar, dass sie überfordert war. Sie hatte schon einmal von diesen verfluchten Bergen gehört - felsiges Gelände, eisige Temperaturen, und das Land wurde von einem Mann regiert, der von vielen auf dem Kontinent gefürchtet wurde. König Atticus Heinvres, der blutdürstige Herrscher des Nordens. Obwohl sie ihm noch nie begegnet war, erzählte man sich Geschichten über die Skrupellosigkeit von König Atticus. Manche sagten, er sei ein Ungeheuer, andere behaupteten, er sei der Teufel persönlich, aber wie auch immer die Geschichte lautete, jeder kannte den Mann, der über ungeahnte Kräfte verfügte. Er konnte Armeen stürzen und Nationen mit einer einzigen Handbewegung zerschmettern, unterstützt von einem Ring aus verfluchtem Obsidian, wie es hieß. Niemand außerhalb von Vramid war dem furchterregenden König je begegnet. Nicht bis Daphne. Bei der Begegnung mit dem furchterregenden Mann fand Daphne jedoch heraus, dass der König vielleicht gar nicht das Monster war, für das ihn andere gehalten hatten. Das, was sich unter dem Obsidianschild verbarg, könnte tatsächlich ein Rohdiamant sein. - [Auszug] "Also ... wo soll ich euch beide unterbringen?", fragte er beiläufig, ohne eine Antwort zu erwarten. "Es ist bedauerlich, dass ich nur einen Kronleuchter habe." "Unter meinem Bett? Nein, nein, zu schmutzig. Das haben meine Staubhasen nicht verdient", sinnierte Atticus vor sich hin. "Der Kaminsims? Wie wäre es mit dem Frisiertisch? Ich nehme an, wenn ich einen eurer Köpfe abschlagen würde, könnte ich ihn dort anbringen... Frau, welchen Kopf willst du anstarren, während du dir die Haare machst?" "Atticus!" Daphne schrie. "Ich will keine Köpfe! Lass sie los!" "Na gut." Atticus zuckte mit den Schultern und schnippte mit den Fingern. Es gab zwei identische Knackgeräusche, als beide Hälse auf einmal brachen. Daphne keuchte entsetzt auf. Dieser Mann, ihr Ehemann, hatte gerade zwei Männer mit einem Fingerschnippen getötet, als würde er Kerzen auslöschen. "Ich habe dir gesagt, du sollst sie gehen lassen!" Daphne schrie auf. "Ja, ich habe sie gehen lassen", sagte Atticus. Dann verfinsterten sich seine Augen. "Um das göttliche Urteil des Himmels zu empfangen." - Discord Server: https://discord.gg/7HAMK2bRYU
