“My human prisoner wants freedom. There’s only one way she’ll get it: marry me."
The alien lord holding me prisoner is the most powerful being I’ve ever encountered. A winged immortal who can kill with a mere wave of his hand. He’s arrogant and alien. Demanding and dangerous. Brutal, even beautiful, though I hate him too much to admit it. He hates me, too. But even though my captor despises me, he needs me. He requires a bride for political reasons, and he makes me an offer I have no choice but to accept. Marry him, play the part of his happy wife, and he’ll give me the one thing I want most—my freedom. Inside our fake marriage, hate turns into something else. Something dark and strange and needy. I don’t recognize my treacherous body, and as I slide further into my husband’s deadly grasp, I fight him with everything I have. He can have my vow. He can even have my desire. But if I let him get his claws into my heart… He will never let me go.
