I’ve never met him, I don’t know what he looks like, he’s fourteen years older than me, and because he decided he wanted me the moment he saw me, now I have to marry him or he won’t help my family…
“Keep your distance, princess. Or I’ll be your ruin.”
I should listen.
I’m Bratva royalty, and he’s my brother’s closest ally.
Older. Scarred. Lethal.
But as his dark gaze locks with mine, full of the desire he’s tried to bury,
I know I’m ready to break every d*mn rule written in my book.
When masked men crash my birthday with the intent to make it my last,
It’s Grigori who saves me.
In the shadows of a safehouse, he becomes my obsession. And I, his.
His words tell me I deserve better.
But his eyes reveal a hunger he’s buried for years,
A desire he’s fought every step of the way.
They say a savage enforcer with bloodstained hands will only destroy me.
And I’m ready to burn for him.
Because walking away from the only man who’s ever made me feel alive isn’t an option.
Not when I’m carrying the one secret that could destroy us both.
“I came to kill him. He offered me a deal instead—my life for one night in his bed.”
I was supposed to end the Irish devil who’s haunted my family’s empire.
Not crave his touch.
Not beg for more when he pins me down and demands my surrender.
One clean strike was all I needed.
Instead, I’m trapped against his bedroom wall at midnight, my assassin’s mask torn away, his hungry green eyes drinking in every inch of me.
“I’ll let you live,” he whispers, his breath hot against my throat. “But every time you fail to kill me, you’ll spend the night doing exactly what I say.”
I should have driven my blade into his black heart.
Instead, I made a deal with the devil himself.
Now I’m living two lives:
By day, I’m the perfect Russian princess, my father’s precious daughter.
By night, I’m surrendering to Killian King’s wicked games and shameful demands.
Each dangerous encounter pulls me deeper into his web.
Each night leaves me craving more of his touch.
I hate him. I want him.
He thinks he’s tamed the infamous Shadow Assassin.
He thinks he owns me.
But tonight at the charity ball, everything changes.
Blood will spill. Empires will fall.
And Killian King is about to learn what happens when you fall in love with the woman sent to destroy you.

Until now… when his enemies set fire to our home, hunting down my mother and me.
I’ve been forced into an arranged marriage with the heir of the Italian mafia. My brother made it clear. Either I marry him, or he’ll make me wish I was dead. I knew what was expected of me. Put on a smile. Sit pretty. Say nothing. What I didn’t expect was him. My fiancée’s father. Twenty-five years older. Forbidden. And the only man who’s ever seen me.
