Bride of the Black Dragon

A dark prince. A forced marriage. A dragon bond that could change everything. I never asked to be sold to the royal family—or to be married off in some bizarre, ancient ritual. My new husband, the Crown Prince, made it clear I wasn't wanted. Fine. I didn't want him either.But his older brother? The one they keep locked in the shadows? He's the one I can't stop thinking about.Xaren is all hard muscle, brutal scars, and growled warnings. He says his Drake is too dangerous—that I'm safer far away from him.Too bad the Queen has other plans…She orders me to his bed, demands I give the kingdom an heir—and soon.Now I'm trapped with a man who thinks he's too broken to touch me… and too dangerous to want me.But every time we're alone, I see the truth in his eyes.He burns for me…just as much as I burn for him.
