When Mary is caught in a scandal with one of the most notorious rakes in town, she believes the only solution to the grave trouble for her dangerous secrets is a wedding. What she didn't account for was her heart--and his.

***

Adrien Haverston is a rake caught in his own trap after a seduction goes wrong. One great scandal and a bitter wedding later, he is one angry husband to Mary Featherton. But despite his vow to make her suffer for shackling him to a life he has avoided ever since, he begins to realize that the burning attraction that brought them together in the first place might just lead to something promising. But falling in love with his wife may not be as easy as he first thought, because as Adrien peels off every charming and beautiful facet of Mary, he also discovers dark and dangerous secrets--one of which has the potential to shatter him.

To Wish for Peace

In a world of ten billion human beings each with their own personal agendas, nothing can be taken at face value and no truth can be accepted without a pinch of salt. Your next door neighbor could be secretly funding a terrorist cause or a charity organization as a front for laundering money procured from stakes in successful terrorist activities.... Or she may really be a jaded middle class worker who does her taxes and looks forward to her romantic tv shows. In the midst of all this unpredictability are five characters who would not look out of place if you passed any one of them on the street--only your great grandmother may have passed by them a hundred years ago and like you had thought nothing about them then. Most people think that living forever would be awesome, but these five know that without a purpose, even a ten minute existence isn't worth living. When unprecedented events bring them together for the first time in their unnaturally long lives two paths open up before them: to find companionship in their shared immortality and a purpose that transcends the interests of any one party, or take heed to caution and the biological instincts of self-preservation and quickly create as much distance between themselves as possible in order to avoid attracting the wrong kind of attention.... The kind that finds purpose only in exterminating unnatural creatures.

A long time ago, before humans or even dragons roamed the Earth, there were the titans. Massive beasts with powers you could only dream of. The world had more radiation on the surface for food for the multitude of titans. There was an alpha species known as Gojira or Godzilla that was the 'King' of the monsters. He didn't force the titans to do anything except not to mindlessly destroy and Godzilla kept the balance. But then, a creature came from the stars, King Ghidorah, the first dragon. The 3 headed golden dragon sought nothing but destruction for the Earth and cause a divide in the titans. Some wanting balance, and others wanting to destroy. Godzilla grew to hate King Ghidorah and the 2 Alpha titans dueled in the fridge wastelands just beyond the Archipeligo. On glacier island. Thousands of years ago, Godzilla banished Ghidorah and sealed him inside the glacier but Ghidorah swore revenge before he was locked away. Before Ghidorah was locked away, he produced the dragons on the Earth, creatures much smaller but still his children in a way. Dragons are aliens in this world. Godzilla was badly damaged by the battle and went to hibernate for thousands of years to heal, and before he wants to sleep, he commanded all other titans to hibernate as well.

This takes place after the second movie. Godzilla all the while has a grudge against dragons, can Hiccup Haddock somehow convince the King of the Monsters that Dragons can be forgiven?
