It’s not obsession if he feels it too.
I’m Xander Laskin—vigilante, unapologetic party boy, and *very* into my new handler. Ash Valentine is everything I’ve ever tall, brooding, and straight as an arrow… or so he’d like me to believe.
But I’m not blind. I know there’s something between us—I just need him to admit it.
Getting into my estranged father’s elite mercenary program was my way of proving myself. Now I have my chance. Our mission? Fly to Paris, infiltrate the inner circle of fashion icon Avery Roche… and take him out. Because no one, no matter how stylish, should get away with murder.
And to make it work, Ash has to pose as my husband. It's the perfect opportunity for us to get close and cozy... as long as we survive.
One thing is for certain. By the end of this mission, Ash will be mine. 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.
