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?

"Who is that man, and what did he just say to you?" Loretta asked as soon as the man was out of sight. She had dragged Marlena to the end of the room to interrogate her.
"I don't know him." Marlena lied. "I've never seen him before today."
Loretta narrowed her eyes, clearly not believing her.
"Why would I know him? He has to be a prince or a lord. I'm just a maid—I don't interact with royals." Marlena added. It was a plausible explanation, but the queen still felt she was missing something.
However, she had more important things to scold Marlena about. She pulled the young woman further away from the banquet and her smile faded as soon as there was no one else within earshot.
