Rise: One Curse After Another by Cherie Marks

He wants revenge. She wants survival. To get both, they must fight fire with desire.

Liverity Strongwill will stop at nothing to take down her evil tyrant of a father, King Grawl. He is currently hunting her and her siblings to solidify his immortal reign. Only one thing scares his dark heart. If Liv can find the mythic curse breaker and reunite with her twin sister and younger brother, their father won’t stand a chance. Just one problem: a gorgeous, alpha warrior named Riserion just kidnapped her and pulled her into a pocket dimension from which there is no escape. He has a lethal ax to grind with the king, but he doesn’t trust Liv at all. If she can convince him they are on the same team, they might just survive.

Riserion Ward finally has the means to his revenge in sight. He wants Grawl’s head for the tortuous enslavement Rise endured as a child, and now that he has Liverity in his grasp, he has the perfect pawn to lure the king to his demise. Yet, as much as he tries to hate her, she’s not the spoiled royal he imagined. His rage begins to blur into an addictive, dangerous hunger that can’t be denied. Trust isn’t something he gives easily, but to kill a monster, he might have to trust the monster’s daughter.

As they travel through a barren hellscape, the greatest threat to their mission isn’t the king, it’s the lethal attraction pulling them together. In a world of dark magic and betrayal, a single mistake might cost them everything as they face one curse after another.
