His enemy. His wife. His one weakness.

One thing King Taar of the Licornyn knows for certain: his captive human bride will never be accepted by his people. He has no choice but to break the inconvenient soul-tether binding them together, deliver her back to her own kind, and forget this impulsive marriage ever happened.

In the meantime, a single touch, even a stray kiss, could strengthen their bond and compromise all his plans. Surely this desire burning in his veins is only a result of the magical soul-tether. He doesn't truly want this strange wife of his...does he?

Ilsevel holds tight to her secrets: not only her identity, but also her connection to the human mages who have devastated Taar's land. If her dangerous new husband finds out that he's accidentally married the daughter of his great enemy, her life will be forfeit. But with the weight of guilt burdening her heart, can she find renewed purpose in this treacherous world?

And can she suppress growing feelings for this husband she never sought and this marriage she should be fighting to escape?

Return to the world of WarBride, where a brutal fae warlord struggles with all his might not to fall for his feisty human bride. Prepare for pining, temptation, danger, and slow-burn romance ready to ignite! Book two of a planned quartet, HeartTorn will leave you breathless and begging for more.

For mature listeners.
