Summary
Jude is unbelievably embarrassed when her boyfriend Locke announces his engagement to Jude's twin sister Taryn but really, that pain is nothing on the heartbreak she endured at the hands of the beautiful Cardan Greenbriar in her youth. The only issue is that Cardan is invited to the wedding and seems dead set on helping her out of the tricky situation that is securing a date to this wedding to prevent further humiliation in front of her family.
Can Jude fake date her first love? Or is their carefully created facade cracking to reveal the ugly and honest truth under the surface? Because Jude has always loved Cardan, and she's not sure she'll ever be able to stop.

Summary
When Jude Duarte was given the task of protecting rising rockstar Cardan Greenbriar from a dangerous stalker, her intuition already told her it would be a tricky mission. But the capricious, irresponsible and annoyingly attractive boy seems to make everything even more difficult.
As if being threatened by a crazy stalker who wants to destroy his life wasn’t enough trouble to deal with, Cardan Greenbriar could never have imagined that having a scary bodyguard and a breathtaking girl would make him even more out of his mind.
None of them were prepared for what was to come.
The synopsis is terrible, but give me a chance.

Summary
Inspired by Bridgerton and Pride and Prejudice, Jude Duarte is the ward of Madoc, and the least likely to get married of his daughters. The conspiring to her bullies causes scandal after scandal, forcing her to befriend who was once her greatest foe: Prince Cardan Greenbriar.
This has all the regency-era goodness i.e. scandal, chaperone-less shenanigans, and tearful confessions.

Summary
She was meant to pick his bride - not become her.
Jude has spent years building her reputation in a world that treats mortals like dirt beneath its golden shoes. As a strategist, as a tactician, as the daughter of Madoc, she thought she could control this ceremony, bend it to her purpose, and choose a queen who would keep the fae courts fragile and divided.
But High King Cardan, ever unpredictable, upends it all when he names her as his queen in front of the entire realm. Trapped in a crown of thorns and silks, Jude must survive the court that wants her gone, a king she doesn’t trust, and a game she can no longer control.
She was supposed to sabotage this marriage from the outside. Now she has no choice but to survive it from the inside.

Summary
"He sat up slowly to face Jude Duarte. Jude Duarte, Madoc’s favorite daughter and apparently his new partner counselor. She looked exactly like she had at the last school he got kicked out of. Cold. Disdainful. And unfortunately, still hot."
Cardan's latest stunt gets him carted off to Madoc's summertime boot camp, in the hopes that he'll finally learn some responsibility. With his luck, of course his partner counselor is his stupid sexy nemesis.
Alternatively: lots of angry flirting and reluctant pining, courtesy of Jurdan.

Summary
At his maze party, Locke’s petty attempt to provoke Cardan unfurls beyond his control, forcing Jude to reevaluate her loyalties and pulling her toward the enemy she despises most.
In the wake of a ruinous game of Dare or Drink, she uncovers the truth of Cardan’s feelings and resolves to forge that weakness into a weapon sharp enough to pierce his heart. Yet in trying to undo him, Jude learns he may be crucial to seizing the power she craves. And as the coronation draws near, the dance between desire and deceit builds toward its fateful crescendo.
“This game has grown insufferably dull,” Cardan says, sending the bottle into a furious spin. Just as it begins to slow, he stills it with a fingertip, its neck aimed at me like the point of a dagger. “You’re here to entertain your betters, aren’t you? And so far, you’ve been a dreadful disappointment.”
The promise I've made to myself surges back, burning like salt ground into an open wound: Whatever dare they throw at me, I will make sure it’s them who choke.
