On a storm-lashed night in 1805, an orphaned infant is brought to De Montfort Duchy and claimed as one of its own. Raised among four brothers in one of England’s most powerful noble houses, Sophia de Montfort grows from cherished child into a young woman of rare beauty, wit, and quiet strength. By the time she reaches society, she is everything the marriage market desires—graceful, spirited, and the daughter of a great estate. Suitors circle. Alliances are whispered. Futures are negotiated in drawing rooms and candlelit corridors. Sophia, believing in love, sets her heart where it chooses—unaware of the deeper currents moving beneath the surface. For Laurence, the Duke of De Montfort and her not-by-blood brother, devotion has always been simple: protect her, provide for her, ensure her happiness. Yet as she steps into womanhood and toward marriage, that devotion becomes far more dangerous—and far more difficult to contain. While Sophia navigates the trials of love, reputation, expectation, and betrayal, she remains unaware that the fiercest heart in the room beats not among her suitors… but beside her. A sweeping Regency drama of desire, loyalty, and forbidden longing, this is the story of a woman every man wants—and the one man who must never claim her.

Cursed By His Own Vow She wasn't supposed to be there. He wasn't supposed to notice her. But fate has never cared about what was supposed to happen. Ava Maren has nothing — no money, no connections, no safety net. What she has is a sharp mind, a mouth that says exactly what it thinks before the polite version catches up, and a stubbornness that has gotten her through fourteen jobs in four years without once apologizing for who she is. When she walks into Voss Enterprises seven minutes late with a squeaking heel and zero patience for intimidation she expects the interview to last twenty minutes. She does not expect to get the job. She definitely does not expect him. Kade Voss built an empire before he turned thirty. Cold. Controlled. Devastatingly beautiful in a way he is completely indifferent to. Every magazine wants his photograph. Every board room fears his silence. Every woman who gets close enough to matter pays a price she never agreed to. Because Kade Voss made a vow at seventeen. A vow spoken at the wrong place at the wrong moment to something older and darker than he understood — and it heard him. It bound itself to his blood. For fifteen years it has enforced itself with quiet ruthlessness — careers collapsed, accidents happened, lives derailed. He knows what he is. He keeps his distance. From everyone. Always. Until her. Ava walks into his radius and nothing happens. No cold pressure. No stirring darkness. No curse waking up to remove the threat. For the first time in fifteen years — silence. She is either the one woman in the world his vow cannot touch. Or she is the one woman in the world it has been waiting for. He doesn't trust her. He has fifteen years of excellent reasons. She doesn't want his trust. She wants her paycheck and her pride intact. Neither of them planned for the way she challenges every cold wall he has ever built. Neither of them planned for the way he sees her — completely, without the filter most people apply to someone with nothing — and finds something worth seeing. Neither of them planned for any of this. The curse didn't plan for her either. And that — more than anything — is what makes her dangerous. One man. One vow. One woman who was never supposed to survive either. The question is not whether she will break the curse. The question is what breaks first — the curse or him. Dark romance. Hidden magic. Forbidden tension. A billionaire who has never allowed himself to feel anything — and the ordinary girl who makes feeling inevitable. — Daoistaglcx

Commander Klyde Gonzales has built his life on discipline, loyalty, and duty.

It’s about protecting the woman he loves. It’s about saving the family he never knew he had. But in a world where loyalty can be bought and trust can be deadly, one question remains: Will love survive the war between duty and desire… or will the truth destroy them both?
