A vampire prince needs a bride, and a stand-in groom is pulled into a dangerous royal bargain. As the pretend marriage deepens, the two must navigate court intrigue and the prince's predatory world while their feelings become anything but fake.
What is that for? I have a proposition for you. Something that might be worth more than that knife. I'm listening. Good.
my father passed three weeks ago bloodline law requires a legally recognized spouse before i can claim the council seat without it the throne goes to someone far worse what does that have to do with me marry me are you insane you just you kidnapped me owen is and you want me to what marry you that's correct you're a monster monster perhaps but your friend's
heart is still beating. For now. If I say no, you kill him. That's one way to put it. Why me specifically? Out of everyone on this planet, why me? Six months ago, a witch placed a curse on my bloodline. Every vampire under my family's dominion is slowly losing control. Becoming exactly what killed your friend Owen, I need to break it. To do that, I need the council seat.
And for that, I need you. Who placed the curse? I don't know. That's the other half of arrangement. You help me find the answer in six months. Six months. Find a witch, break a curse, Keep Sawyer alive. Oh, and marry a vampire first.
Six months. Then Sawyer and I walk. Free. No strings.
You have my word. Three doors, two windows, one staircase. None of them were going to save Sawyer.
