The Starlight Princess

She's a princess in love with the king's spymaster. He's a cursed traitor plotting her abduction.

Adamanthea is a failure of a princess with a talent for matchmaking. But when her latest pairing falls afoul of the king's schemes, he decides to finally dispose of her by marrying her off to a cruel young lord. Scrambling for a solution, she turns to the spymaster—a handsome older man she's long yearned for.

Leandros is a spymaster with dark secrets. Cursed into compliance, he's spent years waiting to kidnap Adamanthea as a hostage for an enemy queendom. When her wedding provides that opportunity, his masters promise him both his life and freedom if he delivers her into their hands. There's only one problem—Leandros is in love with her.

Neither can imagine a life apart. But as they're pursued by a fiancé determined to reclaim his prize, and murderous foes drain Leandros' life with their curse, neither can picture a future together. Can their passion beat the odds, or is this the match that dooms them to misery and death?
