An Ear For Secrets (Apex Kingdom #2) by LC Whitehouse:
 
Secrets are worth more than gold. 
 
Just when Alora thought she’d finally escaped the human elite’s schemes, she finds herself trapped in yet another strange court, forced to play another role—this time as the beast prince’s intended bride. 
 
It would be an easy job, if not for the pirate captain threatening to sell them back to their enemies, an unwieldy new power breaking her mind into pieces, and, worst of all, the feelings for her fake fiancé that she can neither trust nor hide.
 
Prince Taran wants nothing more than for Alora to realize the pull between them, engagement ruse be damned. He’d burn the whole seaside court if his thief would only let him claim her. 
 
To learn the island’s secrets, Alora will need to face her own. There’s a growing power that threatens to drown her, but balance comes at a steep cost—one this thief might not be willing to pay.
