In Belcourt, they rear weapons no man can contend with: women. Sasha was never meant to be in the Court of Flowers, one of the most sought-after courts in Belcourt, but when she is suddenly placed there without warning, she discovers a world far from what she expected--one that reeks of passion, seduction, secrets, and betrayal. ***** Belcourt, an orphanage for young girls, keeps many secrets within its walls. Among those are the four courts that rear the kingdom's most powerful weapons: the Ladies of Belcourt. Sasha is safely tucked away in the Court of Libraries when Belcourt makes a sudden decision it has never done before in more than half a century. She is transferred into the Court of Flowers, the most famous court of all, where she is expected to service gentlemen who paid their way in for a Belle, a woman trained to please, seduce, and spy. Things take a turn when she is introduced to the mysterious West Blackwood who has a very different service in mind, one too tempting and one that may ultimately change Sasha's safe life in Belcourt. Torn between powerful forces, both the kingdom and Belcourt itself, Sasha will have to determine where her loyalties lie: to the man who not only infuriates her at every turn but also awakens sensations she never felt before? Or to the place that has always been her home since the day she walked away from a cottage with two dead bodies?

Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for. Highest Rankings: Hit #5 in Love out of 2.3 million stories Hit #1 in Medieval out of 23,000 stories Hit #1 in Middleages out of 629 stories Hit #1 in Knight in Shining Armor 18+ only! *** Very mature themes, graphic violence & sexual content***

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill, of things unknown, but longed for still. And her tune is heard on the distant hill, for the caged bird sings for freedom. His lips hovered just above mine, close enough to make my senses blur. All I could think about was feeling his lips on mine again. "You don't feel the mate bond?" he asked, his voice low. "Because it's telling me to tear these clothes off you and take you right here, make you cry out my name so the whole pack knows you're mine." Lucille Hardings had always felt trapped. Living by strict rules as the Alpha's daughter, destined to follow in his footsteps as a leader. And if that wasn't enough, she'd also been chosen as the fated mate of another Alpha. But he didn't approve of her youth and doubted she was fit to be his Luna. That rejection, that pain, made her leave. She ran away from everything she knew, her pack, and went rogue. No one would have ever guessed that the once quiet, uncertain girl would transform into a fierce, powerful rogue. This story combines two books into one: Heart of a Rogue and Heart of a Luna. There will be extensive edits planned for late 2024, so some story details may change. Expect to encounter wolves, intense bonds, and eventually a glimpse into a spirit world as well.
