										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The first book in the riotously funny dark romantasy series following a conflicted villain and his unstoppable bride who form the realm&#8217;s most chaotic alliance. Perfect for fans of </b><i><b>Assistant to the Villain</b></i><b>.</b></p>
<p><b>Step One: Kidnap someone cute.</b></p>
<p><b>Step Two: Force her into marriage.</b></p>
<p><b>Step Three: Try not to get feelings.</b></p>
<p>When Dark Lord Kazimir Blackrose kidnaps Lady Arabella and forces her to marry him, he expects an obedient bride. What he gets is a knife to the throat and a furious woman with demands of her own. He may need her heroic bloodline to achieve ultimate dominion, but she&#8217;s not about to make it easy for him.</p>
<p>After a lifetime of being treated like property, getting abducted by the realm&#8217;s most notorious villain is just another Tuesday for Arabella. If she must be married to the infuriating (and infuriatingly attractive) Dark Lord, she&#8217;ll do it on her own terms.</p>
<p>But when his plans go awry, Kazimir faces his most terrifying challenge yet: He must actually  <i>date</i>  his own wife.  </p>
<p>Between magical training sessions, playing golf with the eyeballs of his enemies and &#8216;romantic&#8217; dinners gone spectacularly wrong, Kazimir&#8217;s villainous seduction plans are failing at every turn. But, as they navigate magical explosions and jealous exes, the pair discover a far more terrifying prospect than war or magical catastrophe: <i>They might actually be falling for each other.</i></p>
<p><b>This dark and sexy fantasy romance is perfect for readers who love:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>A morally grey antihero (who stays that way)</li>
<li>A strong heroine who embraces her dark side (she doesn&#8217;t need rescuing, thanks)</li>
<li>Touch her and die</li>
<li>Hilarious, wicked banter and sizzling spice</li>
<li>One bed/forced proximity</li>
<li>Kidnapped bride/forced marriage</li>
<li>Dark humour</li>
</ul>
