The Bridge Kingdom (The Bridge Kingdom, #1)

by Danielle L. Jensen

Just the way their father, the King of Maridrina, liked it. And from what she’d been told about him, he was a man who always got what he wanted, one way or another.

“My father, and his father, and his father before him all sought to break the Bridge Kingdom. With assassins, with war, with blockades, with every tool at their disposal. But not one of them thought to use a woman.”

“King Aren won’t see you coming until it’s far too late. A black widow in his bed.”

Ithicana would pay for its crimes against her people, and by the time she was through with its king, he’d do more than bend. He’d bleed.

There was, Aren thought, nothing the Great Beyond could offer that would be more perfect than her.

“I love you,” he said, his lips grazing against hers. “And I will love you, no matter what the future brings. No matter how hard I need to fight. I will always love you.”
