Wed to the Troll King — Lidiya Foxglove

He comes to me at night, in the darkness. The monster I was sworn to, against my will.By day, he is trapped in the form of a bear and cannot speak, cannot properly rule, but I know what he is: the King of the Northlands. The King of Trolls. He is under a curse, and he needs my help, but why should I help the brutish, dominating, barbarian king?I was meant for more than this; my father was a great mage but try as I might, I never had his talent for magic. Although he gave me everything I wanted, I know I'm a disappointment, and that's why I was thrown into this horrible position to save my kingdom from the Troll King's wrath.Although my dominating new husband has no patience for me when I try to act like a princess, and there is also a tender side to him. He's protective, massively strong, and has a strategic mind that I didn't expect.But he also has an enemy of his own that I didn't expect. The barbarian troll princess he once snubbed, who hates the soft, pretty races with a vengeance and cursed him with the form of a bear so he could never form a diplomatic alliance. If I want a happy marriage with my troll king, I'll have to break the curse--and much to my surprise, I think I do.Wed to the Troll King is a standalone fairy tale retelling of the East of the Sun, West of the Moon for those who like an unabashedly adorable happily ever after with a side of serious steaminess!
