SEQUEL TO 'THE 200 YEAR BRIDE SWAP'. Maxine Varco is the only bride at the 200 Year Bride Swap who's smiling. While the other daughters are dragged to the altar to keep a two-hundred-year peace, the sharp-tongued vampire of a lesser house has bribed and lied her way into marrying Prince Morrison Marwick — the coldest mage in a kingdom that would sooner see her dead than crowned. Everyone thinks they know why a nobody clawed her way to a prince. No one knows the secret she'll take to her grave. Then, on their wedding night, Maxine does the one thing no vampire is supposed to survive, and the mage blood that should have killed her binds them instead: matching marks neither can remove, a two-hundred-year-old ghost who greets them by name, and a hunger that runs both ways. Now an assassin hides inside Morrison's own court, the mentor he trusts most is terrified of what they've become, and the husband she married as a means to an end is becoming the one weapon she can't stop wanting. To save what she came for, Maxine will have to decide whether the mage beside her is her enemy, her salvation, or the most dangerous mistake she's ever made.
