A fabricated debt. A lethal enforcer. An eight-week fake marriage to survive the underworld's deadliest syndicate.
Serevin Halm is an investigative journalist who exposes secrets for a living—until the darkest secret of all comes hunting her. When her father’s death leaves her crushed beneath a catastrophic debt to the Office of Consolidated Interests, Serevin is handed a brutal ultimatum: face immediate liquidation, or accept a structural arrangement playing the devoted wife to the syndicate's most terrifying enforcer.
Marnie Garrow is a mechanism of violence. Ancient, ruthless, and bred to protect the coven’s financial empire, he doesn't want a human liability dragging him down. But as unscheduled federal sweeps threaten the docks and rival assassins close in, the rigid, icy boundaries of their arrangement begin to violently shatter.
Serevin refuses to be a pawn in a vampire’s game. She isn't just fighting for survival; she's playing to burn the Consolidator's empire to the ground. As the countdown to their exposure ticks away, Serevin and Marnie must rely on each other to execute a lethal heist against the very monsters who rule the night. But the only thing more dangerous than the dark web conspiracy they uncover is the undeniable, consuming heat igniting between them.
In a world where trust is a liability, falling for the executioner might be the deadliest risk of all.
