The Midnight Bride — Kati Wilde

To save her family from a tyrant king, Mara of Aremond must win a tournament—and she won't let anyone stop her from claiming the prize. Especially not Strax, the barbarian warrior who has tormented her every step of the way. But when a sorcerer's trap binds them together, Mara must decide whether Strax is her greatest enemy, or if everything she seeks can only be found in the barbarian's arms . . . Contains mature themes.
