Tide Bound by Lauren O' Brien

Kiojah’s dreamed of her future as a duchess her entire life. When her sister passes away and an impending debt endangers her family's legacy and estate, she's willing to do whatever it takes to preserve it. Including marrying Ario, the foreign prince of Nevaron, and her sister’s betrothed.

A romantic at heart, Kiojah embraces the challenges of her arranged marriage until Ario shatters her illusions. He had no desire to marry, not her sister, and especially not her. He makes swift arrangements for a mission at sea, with no intention of taking her along. Despite his disapproval, Kiojah holds on to her romantic notions and forsakes her newfound comforts to follow him.

Ario and Kiojah embark on a journey which reveals the enchanting yet harsh realities of the world outside of her privilege. Kiojah must decide how far she’ll go for the love she yearns for. Will she defy her reputation and obligations or succumb to her past?
