The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller

She wants power. He’s the king of shadows. And neither is playing fair.

Alessandra is done being overlooked. Her plan? Woo the mysterious Shadow King. Marry him. Then kill him and claim his kingdom for herself.

But the Shadow King is no ordinary ruler—whispers say he commands darkness itself, hearing the secrets of his enemies. And he’s not the only one with deadly designs on his throne.

As assassination attempts close in, Alessandra must keep him alive long enough to become queen—while fighting a different kind of battle: the one for her own heart.
