   Summary

   "You're not my husband," she whispers, nostrils flaring.

   "I am tonight," he returns gently.

   ---

   Aleksander Morozov is brother to the king. The shadow summoner is stronger but younger than his brother, the king.

   Alina Starkova is the sun summoner. She is young and beautiful. And promised to the king.

   The king cannot beget an heir. His younger brother is pledged to serve him in whatever way he needs.

   Even if that means producing a successor for him with his untouched bride...

   Summary

   Alina wants to be his good little wife, really, she does. It's not her fault that her coping mechanism for her loneliness is being a brat. Fortunately, Aleksander is there to take her in hand to teach her a thing or two about patience--and to reassure her when she starts questioning whether or not she's worthy of his love.
