The Pirate's Bride (The Cursed Tides, #1)

She meant to steal his heart to save her people . . . but somehow he's stealing hers. Princess Cali's kingdom is dying, and the only cure hides deep within enemy lands-an enchanted realm where betrayal is currency and no one survives without a mask. Her only way in: a marriage built on lies. Disguised as the realm's princess, Cali must wed the infamous Pirate Prince, Bae-a rogue whispered about in every port for his danger, his charm, and his cold, merciless heart. Their union is supposed to be nothing more than a key she turns to claim the cure. But marriage-especially to a man like Bae-is far more intoxicating than she ever prepared for. Beneath his ruthless reputation lies a tenderness she wasn't meant to see . . . and a pull she can't resist. Every stolen glance, every accidental touch, tangles her deception with desire. As war gathers on the horizon and ancient secrets close in, Cali's mission twists into a tormenting choice: betray the husband she was never supposed to love, or doom the people she swore to save. Love was never part of the plan. But in a marriage forged from lies, it might be the most dangerous truth of all. THE PIRATE'S BRIDE is perfect for fans of forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers tension, and no-spice slow-burn fantasy romance. Read it today! This book was previously titled Princess of Death.
