The Nightmare Bride

He's planning their wedding. She's planning his funeral. Life in a remote, storm-wracked swamp isn't all bad-Harlowe has a crumbling manor to call home, thread to patch her dresses (again), and almost enough to eat. Sure, the eldritch storms that sweep the bayou inflict hallucinatory nightmares on everyone in their path, but Harlowe would never dream of leaving. Not when her best friend, Amryssa, needs her. Then Amryssa's father arranges her marriage to a sadistic prince, and Harlowe does the unthinkable: she takes her friend's place at the altar, determined to get close enough to drive her dagger through the prince's heart. Except Harlowe's new husband isn't what she expects. Instead of cruelty, she finds charm, a quick wit, and a sparkling gaze that makes her pulse quicken. Worse, the prince proves inexplicably immune to the storms. But if he isn't the monster everyone fears...who is he? As the nightmares increase and threaten Amryssa's very existence, Harlowe races to uncover the manor's secrets-and her husband's. Soon, she must decide what matters most: the man she vowed to destroy, or the woman she swore to save.
