Sapphire and Steel (Blood and Ice #1)
Violet Froste
To stop the neighbouring king from constantly attacking his country, he's formed an audacious plan: he will abduct his enemy's daughter and make her his wife, hoping that tying their countries together through marriage will end the war.
But the last thing he intends is to become dangerously attracted to his stolen bride.
But now, the princess is being sent away to be wed, and on the way they are surprised by a group of barbarian warriors from Arkavik. To save the princess from capture, Aster claims to be her and gets taken instead.
The last thing she expects is to become a royal bride in a desperate bid to save a country.
This is a stand-alone, enemies-to-lovers, forced marriage romance set in the medieval fantasy world of Westmere. Please do not read if you are offended by steamy sex scenes.
