The Mercenary's Woman (Brides of the New Order #5)

Book Five of Brides of the New Order

In a world where love is forbidden, trust is a weapon, and freedom is bought with blood…

Veronica Moorhouse is no stranger to survival. Raised in the shadow of her father’s cruel power, she chose the streets over a marriage to a man who would have destroyed her. But when her sister is auctioned to the highest bidder, Veronica knows one she’ll do whatever it takes to secure the best help money can buy—and this time, she’s willing to make deals with the devil himself.

Ryker Thornton is a husband-for-hire with a reputation for getting the job done. A mercenary by trade, he’s made a fortune saving women from unwanted marriages—but there’s more to him than just cold, hard contracts. When Veronica hires him to rescue her sister, he doesn’t expect to want her. But the fierce, beautiful woman with a past full of secrets makes him feel things he’s sworn never to let himself feel.

The chemistry between them is undeniable, but Veronica’s past is a dark, unhealed wound that may cost them both.

Ryker has his own demons—he’s not the kind of man who stays. But with the regime tightening its grip, he won’t walk away from the woman who’s captured his heart.

Can Veronica overcome her fears and let love lead her to freedom?

Or will the mercenary she’s hired to protect her heart be the one to break it?
