I'm Xander Laskin—vigilante, lethal seducer, and absolutely obsessed with my new handler. Ash Valentine is everything I never knew I needed: ex-FBI legend, iron-willed disciplinarian, and a man who's about to discover he isn't as straight as he thought.
Our mission is simple: infiltrate fashion icon Avery Roche's inner circle and expose a killer who turns beautiful boys into preserved art. Playing newlyweds should be easy—I'm excellent at seduction, and Ash... Well, let's just say his possessive streak isn't entirely for show. But when we discover Roche is keeping the child of a Russian crime boss as their latest muse, the stakes become deadly personal.
I've spent my life using beauty as armor, turning heads while hiding knives. But Ash sees past my careful masks, past the dresses and deadly grace, to the broken parts I thought no one could want. As our fake marriage ignites very real passion, we're both discovering that some boundaries are meant to be crossed.
One thing is certain: by the end of this mission, he'll be mine completely. He just doesn't know it yet.
Hero Worship is the fifth book in the Wayward Sons series, which follows the Laskin brothers as they battle their inner demons and find love. This is a dark romance with dark themes intended for adult audiences.
