A Crown of Scars

Penelope is a survivor. The last heir of a dying throne, she is whisked away to marry the man that killed her brother. Her expectations of being treated as nothing more as a trophy are turned upside down when she is treated with kindness and respect from her husband and his two brothers.

 Adam, the second prince, never wanted to get married. He would rather spend his days as a single warrior prince yet a treaty between his home and a conquered kingdom forces his hand. He expects his bride to be a frilly, gossipy lady of court, yet he discovers she is broken but there is a warrior's spark within her, a spark he intends to light.
