Radiance (2015)

Brishen and Ildiko enter a diplomatic marriage across a species divide and find kindness before physical attraction. That order is the pleasure: jokes, food and daily accommodations build a relationship inside a genuinely unfamiliar society. The court's hostility gives their growing loyalty consequences beyond the bedroom. Expect on-page sex and a generous central love story, with the same couple's larger troubles continuing in Eidolon rather than ending the Wraith Kings world here.
