Ruin the Bride He Chose

Every Fenwyck heir must marry by contract, and the contract is written in a language that changes. Four brides have gone mad reading it. Miss Juliana Bexley is chosen to be the fifth — not for her fortune, not for her beauty, but because she is the only woman who has ever looked at the Fenwyck document and laughed. She accepts Lord Aster's proposal for one reason: to ruin him at the altar. But the family's duchy was bought two hundred years ago from a fae bride who still lives in the greenhouse vault, and the marriage is not ceremonial. It is legal. It is binding. It is written in dialects that move inside the reader's eye. Aster needs her mind. Juliana wants his ruin. On the wedding morning the fae bride offers a trade neither of them will enjoy refusing. Some brides get flowers. This one gets a clause.
