Books like Passion's Honor by Diane Wicker Davis

Amicia of Bellay, a young woman of twenty-one, is thrust into a desperate dilemma at the hand of fate. She must marry Tristan, Lord of Eden, the most bitter adversary her father has ever known, or risk the deadly repercussions of defiance. Despite the dark, unsettling glances that hint at resentment rather than love, Amicia chooses to walk into the unknown with the golden stranger. Their wedding night is proclaimed as a marvel beneath a star‑lit sky, a brief, bewildering encounter that promises passion beyond redemption. However, this revelation is swiftly eclipsed when Tristan's appetite turns into cold apathy at dawn, shattering their fragile hope. Together, they forge through a convoluted web of deception, forcing each other to confront treachery while fighting for survival. Their bond, once thought impossible, ultimately overcomes the shadows of the past, allowing them to claim an everlasting promise of morning's light and love.
