He was supposed to be dead to her. She was supposed to kill him.
Aria Volkov has been trained since childhood to be the perfect weapon—beautiful, deadly, and completely loyal to the bratva. When she's arranged to marry Alessandro Rosetti, the mysterious heir who vanished from his crime family five years ago, she has one mission: seduce him, gain his trust, then end his life.
But the man she expected to find—a cold killer who murdered her mother—doesn't exist.
Alessandro returned from exile carrying ghosts that have hollowed out his soul. He expects nothing from this political marriage except duty and distance. He doesn't expect his bride to see past the walls he's built, to challenge him with intelligence that matches his own, or to make him feel alive for the first time in years.
As dangerous attraction ignites between them, supernatural forces awaken that neither family fully understands. Ancient blood bonds demand truth, but truth could destroy them both.
Because Aria's been living a lie since the moment they met. And Alessandro's been living with the wrong guilt for five years.
When family loyalty collides with a love that could resurrect the dead, they'll have to choose between the people who made them and the person who completes them.
Can a weapon learn to love the man she was sent to destroy?
Genre: Paranormal Romance
