This one really scratched the arranged marriage-forced proximity-enemies to lovers-touch her and die-hidden identity itch I didn’t know I had right now. It was packed with political intrigue, really rich world building that I cannot wait to read more of, and alllll the tension, sharp banter, and “my wife” I love in an arranged marriage trope. The female lead, Dahlia, is sassy and strong, and you will absolutely fall in love with Neve, promise. The ending left me with my jaw hanging and I cannot stop thinking about what’s going to happen in the next book. The stakes are high for real in this one and I cannot wait to see where it goes!
