Wife to the Venom Prince

Cass Avila didn't sign a bride contract because she believed in romance. She signed it because her sister's debts had a deadline and the Vaelith empire had an offer. One human bride. One greenhouse. One cure for a dying queen. She didn't read the fine print about Prince Szaal—the fourth son, the one whose prior contracts ended badly, the one the court calls the Venom Prince. Szaal doesn't want a wife. Cass doesn't want a husband. What they build instead is harder and stranger: a cure, a rebellion, a marriage renegotiated line by line. An alien warrior sci-fi romance for readers who like danger with their devotion, and heroines who don't take the antidote until they've written their own contract.
