WarBride

Ruthless. Bloodthirsty. Killer. And now? Her husband. Ilsevel knows exactly how brutal the fae raiders are. She watched them attack the holy shrine of her god, slaughter the priests, and drag her sister away screaming into the darkness. When she's forced up onto the auction block to be sold off as a warbride to the highest bidder-and when the chilling warlord, Taarthalor, pushes his way to the front of the crowd and lays down an outrageous bid-Ilsevel fears her nightmare is only just beginning. Taar took one look at the fiery little human, and something in him sparked. He cannot explain it. He knows only that he will not see her sold off to one of the soulless monsters trying to outbid each other for a chance to use and discard her soft, womanly flesh. If that means binding himself to her by marriage, so be it. Can this dark king convince his bride not to murder him in his sleep before he can decide what to do with her? Or do the gods have other plans in store for the captive princess and her terrifying new husband? WarBride is book one of a dual point-of-view (his and hers) forced marriage fantasy trilogy with a dangerous, brooding hero, kiss-or-kill vibes, and swift-to-ignite steam that will leave you begging for more. If you love watching a cold-hearted fae warlord discover his one weakness just might be the spitfire princess who drives him crazy, this is the book for you. Perfect for fans of Elise Kova, Laura Thalassa, and Danielle L. Jensen.

His enemy. His wife. His one weakness. One thing King Taar of the Licornyn knows for certain: his captive human bride will never be accepted by his people. He has no choice but to break the inconvenient soul-tether binding them together, deliver her back to her own kind, and forget this impulsive marriage ever happened. In the meantime, a single touch, even a stray kiss, could strengthen their bond and compromise all his plans. Surely this desire burning in his veins is only a result of the magical soul-tether. He doesn't truly want this strange wife of his... does he? Ilsevel holds tight to her secrets: not only her identity, but also her connection to the human mages who have devastated Taar's land. If her dangerous new husband finds out that he's accidentally married the daughter of his great enemy, her life will be forfeit. But with the weight of guilt burdening her heart, can she find renewed purpose in this treacherous world? And can she suppress growing feelings for this husband she never sought and this marriage she should be fighting to escape? Return to the world of WarBride, where a brutal fae warlord struggles with all his might not to fall for his feisty human bride. Prepare for pining, temptation, danger, and slow-burn romance ready to ignite! Book two of a planned quartet, HeartTorn will leave you breathless and begging for more. For mature listeners.
