Sweet As Poison (Beyond the Merillian #5)
Courtney Leigh
I'm a servant in a wealthy household. To gain more land, the lord of the house has promised his daughter off to the leader of a large elven clan outside the wall. But there's a big problem because his daughter doesn't want to be married off and I'm sent in her place...
The elven king is a monster. Or so I was led to believe. But he's handsome. More than handsome. And he's absolutely capable of killing me in one move. If he discovers the lies I was forced to take part in, there's no telling what will happen to me. Especially when those lies almost got him killed on our first night as husband and wife.
I hope to the gods Nylian is a merciful monster because I'm about to have nowhere else to turn.
