Nights of Obedience
Rachel Mays
Vines & Venom #1
Sent to marry the king, she never expected his ruthless brother to become her greatest enemy — or her only ally.
Description
Emilie I never asked to marry King Cyrus, the ruler of the neighboring realm. But after his wife passed away, my parents saw an opportunity to gain his favor. They didn’t hesitate to offer my hand in marriage. Despite the circumstances, I’m determined to make the best of the situation. After all, becoming royalty comes with plenty of advantages. But first I’ll have to get past an unexpected obstacle—the king’s brother, Ladon. Ladon I’ll do anything to protect my family, even if it means sabotaging my brother’s upcoming marriage. I know the truth—that Emilie is a money-hungry opportunist who is unfit to be the queen. I'll do whatever it takes to see their engagement come to an end. She thought she was entering paradise, but I’m going to give her hell. Until disaster strikes... Now, we only have each other. Working together might be the only way to survive the twisted games we’ll be forced to play.
