From New York Times bestselling author Cassia Leo comes a deliciously dark enemies-to-lovers stand-alone romance.
A night-shift girl who hides her face.
A "detective" with perfect lies.
A crown terrified of a secret heir.
After I witness a murder, a detective treats the shallow stab in my side and leaves a business card for a clinic that will treat me, no questions asked.
When he returns, he's determined to learn my side of the story through careful words and even more careful touches. Soon, I start to forget I'm not supposed to let anyone in.
When I finally see the assassin hiding behind the badge, I put an end to him and disappear to an island halfway around the world.
Fresh sun. Friendly new neighbor. Too friendly.
Another assassin.
And now the first one is back. Miraculously alive. We've both shed our masks and the stakes are deadlier than ever. But this time, he's choosing me over the orders they gave him.
He was sent to erase the heir they threw away. Now he's the only shield I trust.
