Uncivil Affairs

Uncivil Affairs by Thomas Doscher

The Vixen War Bride book 3. Spoilers ahead for the earlier ones.

Ben is invited to the Aderen, the village council. Which brings up issues. They will not accept charity they desperately need, so Ben tries to frame it as a gift in light of the holiday -- err -- Arbor Day.

Meanwhile, the Va'shen Lord Voro has decided Alacea is a suitable new bride, since he has manage to wangle an Exception after the death of his wife.

The Arbor Day idea gets out of hand. And Lord Voro is horrified by the realization he can't have her because she married a Dark One. It involves a damaged bridge, a grateful farmer telling about a downed aircraft, making hamburgers, a desperate fight with a local creature, discussion of their marriage customs, and more.
