Brin Felar is called The Wolf—a lethal Valkari assassin with , predatory instincts, and a vendetta that’s consumed him for eight long years. To take down the powerful Vorax family, he needs the perfect Trojan horse: a wife with the right papers to get him behind enemy lines.
He expected a pawn. What he got was a predator.
Dana Benson is no meek little bride. She’s a sharp-tongued Terran thief with secrets of her own—and a burning hatred for the same enemies Brin wants to destroy. Their ‘marriage contract’ is supposed to be a cover story. But when two hunters circle the same prey, sparks ignite into a fire neither of them can resist.
He wanted a tool. He found a partner.
She wanted freedom. She found a mate.
And together, they’re about to start a war.
Fans of forced proximity, dangerous antiheroes, enemies-to-lovers tension, fated mates, and brutal, obsessive passion will devour this steamy alien assassin romance.
The air between them was thick with the friction of two hunters circling the same kill. He wanted a tool. He had found a weapon.
‘Try to take it,’ she dared. ‘See how that works out for you.’
He kissed her like a claim. Brutal. Possessive. As if the war between them could only be fought in fire and skin.
