Smoke and Mirrors by Evie Kent

A story about a pretty king of a pretty planet.
Who loathes the crown, but loves his new queen.
Who yearns for violence and pain, but settles for flowers and filigree.
Who does his duty.
Who protects his treasure.
Who worships his bride with a rough hand and a brutal kiss.
Who doesn’t realize he’s been tricked—and is about to lose it all.

Smoke and Mirrors is a standalone dark romance set in space about kindred spirits finding each other in the unlikeliest of places. More space opera than sci-fi. Not an alien romance — features futuristic humans on colonized planets. 18+ for violence, gore, and heat.
