I Guarded His Grave—He Made Me Queen

I was sold as a child, branded a servant, and spent years kneeling in the shadows of power. Now, the King—haunted, violent, and beautiful—keeps me closer than anyone, even as the Regent plots, blood runs in the halls, and the line between mercy and cruelty blurs. In a palace ruled by secrets and betrayals, every kindness comes with a threat, every touch with a price. But when the King’s past collides with mine, and our old promises resurface amid ruin, I must decide: will I survive by keeping my head down, or risk everything for the boy I once believed in? When loyalty is fatal and love forbidden, can hope survive in the house of wolves—or am I just the next pawn to be broken?

Death was supposed to set me free—so why am I still haunting the man who broke me? Five days after my funeral, Nathaniel Holloway parades his new bride in the dress I bled to sew, never knowing my ghost lingers in every shadow. Trapped between worlds, I watch the man I once loved spiral into obsession and violence, wielding my memory as a weapon in his ruthless quest for power. Betrayed by blood, bound by a locket’s curse, and hunted by secrets that refuse to die, I must choose: forgive, revenge, or finally break the chains that bind us. Will Nathaniel’s regret set me free—or will our love destroy us both, even beyond the grave?

Death was only the beginning—now I’m stuck in the afterlife’s endless line, desperate for a second chance. Forced into a ghost marriage and buried alive, my spirit lingers, tethered to the world by the wish for justice. When a wild bouquet leads rookie detective Quinn Harper to my lost grave, he becomes bound to my fate by a single broken bone. As Quinn investigates the tangled secrets of Maple Heights and my family’s hidden betrayals, every revelation draws him deeper into a web of lies, love, and vengeance. Can the truth set my soul free—or will the living and the dead both pay the price for what happened thirty years ago?

Death was supposed to be the end—until I woke up in my own skin, staring down the man I’d once sworn to protect. I’m Mason: the mob boss’s right hand, the muscle who died for his loyalty, and now, somehow, I’ve got a second chance. But the city’s colder, my enemies sharper, and Jamie—the snake who betrayed us all—is closer to my boss than ever. Every step I take risks exposing the truth: I remember the betrayal, the blood, the night the boss shoved me onto a lifeboat to save my life. Now, I’ll do anything to keep him safe—even if it means seducing our deadliest rival, Marcus, or confessing feelings I never meant to share. But in a world where trust is a weapon and love is a liability, who will break first: the boss, the traitor, or me? If loyalty is fatal, can I survive loving him twice?

Feared as the governor’s ruthless daughter, I chose the city’s most dangerous prisoner as my plaything—Marcus, the wild prince chained and muzzled beneath city hall. My half-sister begs for mercy, but I only want to break the man who threatens my family’s power. When I force a kiss on the caged beast, I know I’m tempting fate—and when he escapes, his revenge will be as savage as his love.

Dying should have been the hardest part—until my heir begged for a divorce in front of the entire kingdom, all for a woman who claims she's from the future. Now, with my legacy on the line and a storm raging outside, my family is tearing itself apart: my son wants love, not the crown; his wife, Megan, clings to honor; and the mysterious Ellie brings secrets that could ignite a civil war. Old promises, deadly loyalties, and the ghosts of the past collide in a single night that will decide the fate of our dynasty. Will I let my family destroy everything I built, or will my final act as king rewrite the rules forever? When love threatens a throne, who will survive the fallout?

He saved my grandmother’s life—then demanded mine in return. For five years, I lived in the shadow of Harrison Grant: his executive assistant by day, his secret lover by night. I was never his equal, just the woman he kept close until someone better came along. When he cast me aside for a perfect match, I thought I’d finally broken free—until he returned, demanding I marry a stranger to tidy up his own engagement. Enter Caleb Foster: rough, honest, and nothing like the man I used to love. Our marriage was supposed to be fake, but somewhere between shared meals and silent nights, I found the kind of devotion I never thought I deserved. Now, with my old life crumbling in scandal and my heart on the line, I have to choose: keep haunting the past, or finally step into the sun. Can love bloom after goodbye—or was I only ever someone’s backup plan?

Death wasn’t my escape—it was my invitation to become his perfect wife, and his worst nightmare. When I married Carter, the world saw a flawless influencer’s dream: a beautiful woman, a viral marriage, and a husband who ruled our home with an iron fist—broadcast live for millions. But behind every perfect mask, I nursed secrets and scars, and a hunger far older than love. The chat called me a vampire as a joke. Only one ghost hunter believed the truth: I died by Carter’s hands, and returned to claim vengeance. As Carter’s birthday nears and a new murder rocks the family, old wounds bleed into new horrors. Now, with the veil between worlds thinning, I’m hunted by a boy who sees monsters—and haunted by a grandmother who refuses to let me go. Will my revenge finally bring me peace, or will the truth about my death damn me forever?

He was the heir I saved from the fire—the man who would become both my salvation and my undoing. When Gabriel Whitmore returned to claim his fortune, the town buzzed with secrets, but no one knew I’d lived this moment before. In another life, I asked for love and became a pawn in their games—betrayed, locked away, poisoned by the girl who wore white at his side. This time, I bow my head and ask only for safety, but the Whitmore estate is a maze of old grudges and new dangers. Judge Langley plots, Gabriel’s heart hardens, and I must decide if survival means giving up on hope forever. Can I break free of the cycle, or will history repeat itself—one heartbreak at a time?

I was the governor’s hidden mistress, always overlooked and mocked—until I discovered my gentle assistant, Will Carter, was the main player in a ruthless game. The world says I’m just his practice girl, doomed to be discarded for the perfect first lady, but I’ve seen the darkness in Will’s eyes and the scars he hides for me. When the mansion’s whispers threaten to destroy my family, I have to choose: walk away in shame, or risk everything to claim a love I was never meant to have.

For three years, I was forced to slip into the Callahan heir’s bed, a shadow of his fragile wife—my own identity erased in the darkness. When I begged for a place in his world, he offered only cold rejection and cruel truths: I was nothing but a servant, never worthy of love or status. Desperate to save my sister from a worse fate, I offered myself as a widow bride to a dying man—trading one gilded cage for another, as the man I secretly loved watched in stunned silence.

I drugged Caleb to force a marriage, but he’d rather see me ruined than save me. When a coup turns me from governor’s daughter to prisoner, Caleb chains me to his bed and makes me pay for every sin—his words and silence cutting deeper than steel. After my suicide, I wake up on the day I doomed us both, given one last chance to undo the scandal that destroyed our lives.
