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
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.
