Book Description
Will an innocent prince forced into marriage choose passion? Sheltered in the palace with his books, Jem's life is peaceful. Even if he's lonely and yearning for romance, the big, strong men he wants don't crave small, timid princes. Then he's forced to marry a mysterious barbarian. Jem must do his duty-even if it means being stuck with Cador, a brute who dismisses him as weak. Even if it means a fake marriage in name only for the sake of their homelands. Even if he must leave behind everything and everyone to journey to a forbidding island of ice and stone. Even if there's only one bed. Alone with this wild-yet tender?-man, Jem discovers desire that burns hotter than he ever imagined. Can two strangers learn to trust, or will dangerous lies tear them apart? Wed to the Barbarian by Keira Andrews is a gay romance fantasy featuring enemies to lovers, an age gap, forced proximity, first times, and of course a happy ending (eventually). This is the first action-adventure romance in the Barbarian Duet and must be read before The Barbarian's Vow.
