I Need My Husband To Fall In Love With Me So His Family Can’t Kill Me!

Skylar Velcourt is betrothed to Lord Caspian Everus, sentenced to a political marriage she never asked for. They knew each other as children, and when they meet again after years apart, Skylar immediately despises him. She begs him to refuse the marriage. Caspian ignores her pleas out of duty. And so they marry, bound by politics, resentment, and a shared vow to keep their distance. Thrust from the warm gardens of Astros, to the cold fortresses of Xoras, Skylar struggles to adjust to her new life. Her marriage is a performance by day, and a battlefield in private. Skylar and Caspian try to destroy one another, with every glare and argument. Yet beneath the hostility lies something neither of them can explain or ignore. But when Skylar uncovers a truth far more terrifying than an unwanted marriage, everything changes. House Everus has plans for Skylar and her family; it was never about saving Astros, but about stealing it. But Skylar has no solid evidence, nor any allies. No one will believe her. If she speaks, if she runs, every path she takes will doom her parents and Astros, with it. Except one. Skylar must make her husband, Caspian Everus, fall in love with her. But affection is harder to fake than hatred. Even as the lines between act and reality begin to blur, and tensions rise between them, Skylar wonders if the man she vowed to hate can truly save her, or will he become her greatest threat of all?

Cursed By His Own Vow.

Cursed By His Own Vow She wasn't supposed to be there. He wasn't supposed to notice her. But fate has never cared about what was supposed to happen. Ava Maren has nothing — no money, no connections, no safety net. What she has is a sharp mind, a mouth that says exactly what it thinks before the polite version catches up, and a stubbornness that has gotten her through fourteen jobs in four years without once apologizing for who she is. When she walks into Voss Enterprises seven minutes late with a squeaking heel and zero patience for intimidation she expects the interview to last twenty minutes. She does not expect to get the job. She definitely does not expect him. Kade Voss built an empire before he turned thirty. Cold. Controlled. Devastatingly beautiful in a way he is completely indifferent to. Every magazine wants his photograph. Every board room fears his silence. Every woman who gets close enough to matter pays a price she never agreed to. Because Kade Voss made a vow at seventeen. A vow spoken at the wrong place at the wrong moment to something older and darker than he understood — and it heard him. It bound itself to his blood. For fifteen years it has enforced itself with quiet ruthlessness — careers collapsed, accidents happened, lives derailed. He knows what he is. He keeps his distance. From everyone. Always. Until her. Ava walks into his radius and nothing happens. No cold pressure. No stirring darkness. No curse waking up to remove the threat. For the first time in fifteen years — silence. She is either the one woman in the world his vow cannot touch. Or she is the one woman in the world it has been waiting for. He doesn't trust her. He has fifteen years of excellent reasons. She doesn't want his trust. She wants her paycheck and her pride intact. Neither of them planned for the way she challenges every cold wall he has ever built. Neither of them planned for the way he sees her — completely, without the filter most people apply to someone with nothing — and finds something worth seeing. Neither of them planned for any of this. The curse didn't plan for her either. And that — more than anything — is what makes her dangerous. One man. One vow. One woman who was never supposed to survive either. The question is not whether she will break the curse. The question is what breaks first — the curse or him. Dark romance. Hidden magic. Forbidden tension. A billionaire who has never allowed himself to feel anything — and the ordinary girl who makes feeling inevitable. — Daoistaglcx
