Her Bride Was the Breach

Hacker Tess Arlen corrupts the National Pairing Lottery to marry Mara Venn, the director she blames for her sister’s death. Mara recognizes the attack and accepts the match, trapping them inside a televised state marriage. Beneath surveillance cameras and biometric shackles, their war exposes a secret escape network, a living sister, and a master key capable of burning the regime—or everyone hiding from it.

A hacker rigs the national marriage lottery to wed the tyrant who erased her sister, but the director accepts—and makes revenge part of their vows.
