Justin Antonio Martínez, a wealthy and powerful businessman, the owner of the Martínez Fashion Industry. His arrogance and unrelenting ambition was well known to the prying eyes of the media. As Justin searches for the perfect woman to hire as his wife, he meets Isabella, a woman who unexpectedly challenges the emptiness of his carefully controlled life. ✦✦✦✦ "You’re relentless, wife." "And who’s a good boy?" She teased, tilting her head at me like she was addressing a misbehaving puppy. I smirked but kept my mouth shut. She leaned in closer, her voice softening to a coo. "Is the good boy angry?" That was it. Restraint? Gone. Before I knew it, my hand was at the back of her neck, pulling her closer. Her eyes widened as her breath caught, her face mere inches from mine. "Justin." She whispered, barely audible, her hand gripping mine like she wasn’t sure if she wanted to push me away or pull me closer. "Yes, wife?" I asked, my gaze flicking between her wide eyes and her parted lips. "Justin." She said again, pouting this time, her cheeks turning a shade of red that I couldn’t ignore. "Hmm?" I couldn’t help myself. I leaned in, pressing a quick, firm kiss to her soft lips. The way her eyes widened and her blush deepened—it was priceless. She froze for a moment, like she couldn’t believe what just happened. I released her neck but kept hold of her hand, guiding it downward. "I’ve got your good boy right here." I teased, my voice low as I placed her hand over the hard bulge in my sweatpants. She looked so flustered, so completely off her game. And damn it, she was tempting. Too tempting.

Synopsis - Isabelle Ellwood, a plain, fuller-figured 19-year-old, hides her poetic soul and dreams of teaching behind dry wit, overshadowed by her beautiful sister who is counted as a family jewel for her grace and beauty and an ambitious father dreaming of snagging a royal title. When Prince Sebastian Nathaniel Winthorne, a bold, dark, and formidable warrior-king at 30, announces a bride-selection season at Cresthaven Palace, Isabelle dares to hope—not for love, but to glimpse the scarred-handed savior of her childhood. Unbeknownst to her, and him, he’s Sebastian, whose commanding presence and passionate heart blind him to her worth, fixated instead on the angelic Amelia Everhart, Isabelle's dearest friend. A secret library meeting shatters Isabelle’s illusions: Sebastian seeks her help to woo Amelia, praising her mind yet oblivious to her love. Their friendship deepens—his admiration grows, her longing festers—culminating in a rain-soaked confrontation where the lavender and breeze ignites his primal desire, clashing with her insecurities.

As time apart unravels his obsession with Amelia, he pursues Isabelle, his awakening raw and relentless. Their reunion at a glittering ball sparks a dance of resentment and longing, leading to a climactic confession where love triumphs over doubt. Isabelle’s journey from invisible dreamer to empowered princess, and Sebastian’s shift from idealized obsession to soul-deep love, crafts a tale of unseen hearts finding their place—a fiercely unique love story for readers craving wit, angst, and romance. In the opulent yet unforgiving world of Regency-inspired Eldoria, The Crown's Wrong Kiss weaves a slow-burn romance of unrequited love, repressed desire, and transformative self-worth.

L'ami d'enfance, qui m'avait promis de m'épouser après l'université, a demandé la main de Nia Ponce lors de ma cérémonie de diplôme. Quant à Quentin Féret, le moine que tout le monde pensait qu'il vivait en dehors du monde, après cela, il a déclaré haut et fort son amour pour moi. Après notre mariage, il a été incroyablement doux et attentionné envers moi, me choyant profondément pendant cinq ans. Mais un jour, par hasard, j'ai entendu une conversation entre lui et un de ses amis : « Quentin, Nia est désormais célèbre. Tu veux vraiment continuer à maintenir cette maudite union avec Josseline ? » « Je ne pourrai jamais épouser Nia, alors ça m'est égal. Et puis, tant que je suis là, Josseline ne viendra pas perturber le bonheur de Nia. » C'est alors que j'ai découvert que ses écrits sacrés, chacun d'eux, était une prière pour Nia : « Que Nia se libère de ses obsessions, que sa santé et son esprit soient en paix. » « Que tout ce que Nia désire se réalise et que tout ce qu'elle aime soit sans souci. » … « Nia, nous ne sommes pas destinés à être ensemble dans cette vie, mais j'espère que dans la prochaine, nous pourrons nous tenir la main. » Cinq années d'illusions se sont évaporées enfin. J'ai alors mis en scène une noyade factice et renaissais sous une nouvelle identité. Je ne voulais plus jamais revoir ces hypocrites.
