Elvish Tangent

As the princess of the impoverished kingdom of Delanthria, Aldari must look beautiful, speak little, and inevitably marry a prince. Studying math and writing papers on economic theory in an attempt to solve her people's financial problems? Her father forbade... it. Reluctantly, Aldari agrees to marry the prince of a neighboring kingdom to save Delanthria from war. Everything goes according to plan until Hawk—a mercenary elven captain hired to guard the wedding procession—kidnaps Aldari. His people are in trouble, and Hawk believes that Aldari can save the elves. But the invading forces are getting closer to Delanthria, and the princess is needed by her people. Aldari must do everything in her power to escape from the elves and make it to the wedding on time. No matter that her captor is witty and charming, and his easy smile touches her heart... Aldari cannot afford to feel. If she falls in love and derails the wedding, it will doom the kingdom and everyone she holds dear to destruction.
