Contract killer Lachlan Kane yearns for a quiet life in his leather studio, hoping to leave his traumatic past behind. But after he botches a job for his boss’s top client, Lachlan realizes escaping the criminal underworld won’t be easy—at least, not until songbird Lark Montague offers him a lifeline. She proposes a deal: use his skills to track down a killer, and she’ll secure his freedom. The catch? He has to marry her first.
And they can’t stand each other.
Indie singer-songwriter Lark is a burst of sunshine and glitter that pierces through every shadow Lachlan tries to hide in. To Lachlan, Lark seems like just another privileged princess, but she has her own secrets lurking beneath her radiant exterior. With her formidable family in turmoil and her best friend’s happiness at stake, Lark is ready to commit to a man she’s determined to dislike, despite the undeniable allure of the brooding assassin.
As Lachlan and Lark navigate the dangerous world that binds them, their fake marriage begins to blur with reality. But it’s not just the familiar threats that trouble them; a new, more sinister presence is lurking at their doorstep.
And this one is out for blood.
