The Cursed Heir's Runaway Bride

At her brother’s funeral, Nia Vale sees him alive—just before the Vesper Court drags him away and presses a bloody ring into her palm. “Marry Julian Cross tonight, or your brother disappears forever.” Julian is the cold, cursed heir of the family that destroyed hers, and Nia is the only locksmith alive who can open the Blood Vault hiding both families’ darkest crimes. But every time his touch ignites the mark beneath his skin, her hatred fractures—and the man she was forced to marry starts feeling dangerously like the one person who can save her. The vault may reveal who caused the massacre, but if Julian was the one who burned her family, will Nia unlock the truth and save him—or use the final key to destroy her husband?
