Mercia has always lived in the shadows--hidden away in a quiet village as the illegitimate daughter of Count Edevane. But when her legitimate half-sister, Lady Elise, vanishes days before her engagement to the powerful Duke Thorne, Mercia is summoned to take her place. Thrust into a world she hardly understands, Mercia must learn to play the role of a noble lady-or risk her family's disgrace. It's not easy being Elise and the more she learns about her fiancé, she realizes that there's more to him that meets the eye? Will Mercia make it in this high-stakes society as an imposter or will her downfall come sooner or later?

For hearts that feel too much and say too little, here lies a collection that gives voice to every unspoken emotion.

This started as a goal to write anything everyday in 2019. I've always wanted to do it no matter how short the piece is! ☺ It turned out to be like a memoir because the book talks about me, my life, my interests and my thoughts. So if you want to get to know me better and happens to be interested in my uneventful life, feel free to stalk me here. 😉 Also, you can make them as your writing prompts! 😊 -Yuchae Moon From: January 1, 2019 To: July 19, 2019

Aria Reed falls in love with a boy who might be taken from her. Locklyn Covey is quiet, guarded, and trying not to disappear. He's learned how to survive by staying small, by never wanting too much, by leaving before anyone can hurt him first. His past is catching up fast, and the future feels like something he doesn't get to choose. Aria sees him anyway. She comes from a safe home, a family that shows up, a world where love doesn't come with conditions. Loving Locklyn doesn't fix him, but it gives him something he's never had before: a reason to stay. As court dates loom and distance threatens to pull them apart, Aria has to decide what it means to love someone you can't save, because sometimes love isn't about rescue. Sometimes it's about staying in someone's orbit and refusing to let them burn out.
