Downloading Nights of Obedience: Vines & Venom #1

The Bookish Box Exclusive Luxe Edition. When Emilie's parents offer her hand in marriage to the king of the neighboring realm, she's determined to make the best of her situation. Her parents may expect her to be a pawn in their play for power but she has ambitions of her own. To her delight, King Cyrus isn't so bad. He's handsome, a gentleman, and even charming. His brother Ladon, however, is a completely different story. He's broody, sarcastic, and determined to make her life miserable. To him, she's little more than a gold-digger. Their rivalry grows amidst hurled insults-and sometimes knives-and Emilie begins to wonder if Ladon will ever accept her the way the rest of his family has. While on a mission to one of the military outposts, they stumble into a vicious trap-one that ends with Emilie and Ladon being kidnapped and held hostage in enemy territory. Their captor puts them through unspeakable atrocities, forcing them together emotionally and physically. Through endless suffering and torture, hatred dissolves into respect, admiration, and maybe something more. Working together is the only way for Emilie and Ladon to survive.
