Kira of Eshara has spent twenty-three years being the one her family loves but doesn't need. Not the heir. Not the prodigy. The middle child, steady and quiet and forgettable. So when her planet needs a treaty bride for the most feared warlord in contested space, she's the one who volunteers. She is the one they can afford to lose.
Morak is prepared for a political match. A name on a treaty. Someone who would fulfill the terms and nothing more. But when Kira steps onto his ship, something in his careful plans comes undone, and the bond that takes hold between them is as old as his species and just as permanent.
Because when Morak looks at her, he doesn't see someone replaceable. He sees someone he would give up everything to keep.

the FMC Kira was BOLD, okay? I mean, if I volunteered to be the political bride for an alien warlord, might as well do what I want with him. I mean, he’s mine & I’m his, right? I love the elements of deep, telepathic connection & unwavering possessiveness that I find in many of Blue’s stories. ugh, swoon

Princess Kira volunteered to be the bride of the Kethari warlord Morak, living on his warship the Vashkara. A treaty between their two species with their marriage.
They both expected a political union but when they meet, they both feel the connection between them.
Very quick bond between them. Book ends with their completed bond HEA.

Short, simple, and better than expected

From the moment Kira told her story, I understood her point of view about her family to her being a tribute.

This is what you look for in a story... a true connection of love.
