The Helio's Bride
A princess with a twisted past. When her fate takes an unfortunate turn, she is thrown off her pedestal and into the web of marriage with the bloodthirsty king of the enemy kingdom. Faced with life and death choices, Delaney must decide whether to side with the enemy—her new husband—or her family who betrayed her. __ As the son of the sun goddess, Darius finds his life unnecessarily long and boring. Until he meets his bride, Delaney, the feisty, fiery princess who is rumored to have rejected suitors by the dozen, the only female descendant of his arch nemesis, and a demon princess. When they get married, will he use her in his quest for revenge, or fall in the trap of her charm like every other male does?

"Let me guess," Darius poured himself a glass of wine, feeling helpless at the thought of Elifur's statement. "Her curiosity is going to get her in trouble. This is what you mean by her harming herself, right?"
"I have to admit, I also think she is way too curious for her own good. Though I wouldn't blame her. If strange things kept happening around me every other day, I would be just as curious if not more curious."
"Right." Darius sighed deeply. Apart from the fact that his enemies were targeting her, he didn't think there was anything wrong with her curiosity. It was after all, this very curiosity that had helped them identify and avert a huge crisis.
"You are worried for her, aren't you?" Teased Elifur.
"She is a demoness." He retorted. "Demons should not exist."
Elifur snorted at his answer. "Nothing about your response implies that you don't care about her. You do, but you are only holding yourself back because she is a demoness."
