Help A Bitch Out

This HaBO is from A Very Desperate Reader, who really wants to locate this romance:

I got this book from my mom in 2016 or maybe 2017. She has had a collection of romance/erotica books since the 90s. I’m assuming the book was published around that same time: 90s to 2010s. The book cover was slightly ripped, but I’m pretty sure it had a girl with long blonde hair, and I think a long blue dress. She was in a running stance, looking over her shoulder. If you can just find me the title of the book or even just the author I would be greatly appreciative!

The description of the book:

A blonde (possibly platinum) haired girl goes to a party in the woods. There is a bonfire happening and she goes near a tree when a man that (she knows?) comes up to her and tries to assault her. Blonde girl panics and freezes him with ice (I want to say he froze all the way and then dropped to the floor making him shatter into pieces) and then she runs back to her home where she and her step-father live.

We switch point of views to the prince (I believe). He’s the bastard son of the king (I think or the king has a bastard son; it’s either one) and the king is sick and tells his son that he needs to marry. The prince not wanting to marry, doesn’t argue but decides that he’s going to join the soldiers who are going to collect different women for him to marry. He does this because he wants to see how his future wife acts without being around someone to impress.

We switch point of views again to a witch. She’s just kinda there. I think she’s trying to curse someone (I want to say the king but I don’t know) and she has this wizard that has the same powers as the blonde girl. (I think they are related but I never finished the book to prove my theory). Their point of views have a point, I just don’t know what it is, but it was often and I would usually skip them. The wizard and the witch were sleeping together. The wizard was more interested in the witch in the relationship.

We switch point of views again back to the storyline of the blonde girl and the prince. The prince and her start talking and start to fall in love. Blonde girl still thinks that he’s a solider and no one really important. She’s not really interested in marrying the prince. (During this point, I think the prince is sabotaging the other princess candidates because he loves the blonde girl. The prince and the blonde girl get married at some point and they consummate their marriage in this B&B of sorts or tavern. They continue on their journey to the palace. Once they get to the palace, the prince reveals himself as the prince and the blonde girl is pissed that he hid it from her and tries to leave. He doesn’t like that, so he puts her in the highest tower in the palace and basically keeps her prisoner. Eventually her powers start getting more powerful or she starts losing control and the prince finds out about them. She thinks this means that he will let her go and instead he wants to keep her even more.

The heroine had a pretty name and her mom either passed or just isn’t in the picture. She lives with her stepfather who treats her well and treated her mother well.

The hero potentially had dark hair and features. He doesn’t like his father much. And his father has a lot of women that he sleeps with. First scene of both of them i think is in the throne room.

The witch lives in a shack of some sort has some grand plan.

The wizard I think is a similar situation and is described as skinny.

I don’t remember any of their names sadly.

I’m sorry for this very long and seemingly hectic HaBO. I’ve been looking for this book for nearly 10 years and I need to just find this book. I’ve tried everything.

With this level of description, I know we can identity this one.
