Summary
(So this is a totally contrived Obitine pile of trash that was a complete guilty pleasure to write. If you're looking for a little Obi-Wan/Duchess interaction with eventual smut, then read on!)
When Obi-Wan is gravely injured during a botched rescue operation, he turns to Mandalore for sanctuary. Reunited with Satine after months of separation, the Jedi and his Duchess find it difficult to resist their desires.
A bit of blood and violence, some merciless flirting, and some classy smut.
He knew full well that Satine enjoyed teasing him, that she liked to needle away at his self-control and elicit a response that gratified her. What she did not know was that he took equal pleasure in doing the same to her. He had grown to love slowly working her into a frenzy until she was nearly delirious with desire.

Summary
Mark’s only love has always been the sea – the steady rock of a deck under his feet and the salt in the wind, tasting of freedom on his lips. But as the Prince of the Silver Sea, he always knew a day would inevitably come when desire would have to yield to duty. And yet what he never expected was for that duty to turn into desire so fierce that it threatened to stir a storm even the most skilled sailor would have a hard time navigating.
Ten’s only wish has always been to feel less alone in rooms full of people. When he set out to a kingdom brimming with snow and steel, where the future loomed dark and the past was bloody, he clung to fragile hope. What good, after all, could possibly come from marrying a king as cold and unyielding as the mountains that cradled his castle? But beneath the surface, warmth flickered – and Ten wasn’t ready to let it die.

Summary
Married off for politics, Lynora Brax becomes Lady of Casterly Rock and wife to the most formidable man in the realm: Tywin Lannister. She is young, clever, and inconveniently aware of her own silence. He is cold, brilliant, and burdened by the ghost of a woman no one dares name.
This is not a love story.
It is two years of glances and ledger columns, of pregnancies lost and duties endured. Of beds shared wordlessly and affections measured in candlelight. Of a girl learning how power tastes when served cold—and how much softer a man looks in ink than in armor. Told through Lynora’s private journal, this is a chronicle of one woman’s quiet war with her role, her heart, and the lion who shares her bed.

They will both be proven wrong.
When power forces their paths to cross, the city holds its breath. In a world of silk and daggers, no alliance is without cost — and no heart escapes untouched.
