"Winter's Orbit" is a #SciFi #Mystery #MMRomance by Everina Maxwell.
Prince Kiem enjoys the life of a royal, even if some of his more outrageous behavior doesn't please the emperor. When the ruler summons the Prince this time, it's not for another dressing down. It's to tell Kiem that he will be marrying Count Jainan, the recently widowed husband of Kiem's cousin Taam. The marriage is necessary to maintain the fragile alliance between the empire and the vassal planet Thea. Jainan has been raised to do his duty, and that means being a good husband to whichever partner the empire chooses for him, however difficult that may be. Neither of the men knows just how dangerous their new alliance will prove to be.
