Unwanted Bride
Every trial I survive in the royal selection buys my little brother another year of life.So while the other women are here for crowns, jewels, and the king’s attention, I have much simpler goals: survive the palace, keep my secrets intact, and make it through as many trials as possible without getting ruined.
It’s not going well.
The court is full of ambitious brides, poisonous gossip, family scandals, deadly secrets, and magical disasters that seem oddly determined to involve me. And then Duke James Stenway starts paying attention.
He is clever, infuriating, impossible to fool, and far too attractive for a man who asks so many dangerous questions. The more closely he watches me, the harder it becomes to remember that I came to court to save my brother—not lose my heart.And in a palace full of ambitious brides, poisonous gossip, deadly secrets, and magical disasters, staying out of trouble? I’ve never been especially gifted at that.
