About the book
Step Kidnap someone cute. Step Force her into marriage. Step Try not to get feelings. When Dark Lord Kazimir Blackrose kidnaps Lady Arabella for a forced marriage, he expects an obedient, trembling bride. What he gets is a knife to the throat and a furious woman with her own terms. He may need her heroic bloodline to achieve ultimate dominion, but she's not about to make this easy for him. Arabella has already survived her father's tower prison and a lifetime of being treated like property. Being abducted by the realm's most notorious villain is just another Tuesday. If she must be married to the infuriating (and infuriatingly attractive) Dark Lord, she'll do it on her freedom within his fortress, hands strictly to himself, and complete honesty about his plans. But when his plans go awry, Kazimir faces his most terrifying challenge yet. He must actually date his own wife. Between awkward dinners, magical training sessions, and playing golf with the eyeballs of his enemies, his villainous seduction plans are failing spectacularly. As they navigate magical explosions and jealous exes, they discover a far more terrifying prospect than war or magical They might actually be falling for each other. A villain and his captive bride discover that magical artifacts, ancient conspiracies, and unconventional dating activities make for one hell of a honeymoon in this dark and sexy fantasy romance.

The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“Was good. Very much like AttV if the villainous deeds weren’t mostly done off screen, and if the FMC wasn’t sunshine, but 100% *done* with everyone else having plans for her.”
“This was SO GOOD. Smart, funny without sacrificing everything else at the altar of comedy, good world-building, phenomenal characters. My favorite read of the year so far, I couldn't put it down, even though I wanted to slow down so I could stay in this story forever. The one small quibble I have is the pacing could have used a tiny bit of work, there was so much happening back to back to back that some reveals didn't land with the impact they could have had. That definitely didn't hinder my enjoyment and I already pre-ordered the next book in the series, and highly recommend this one.”
