In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and peace hangs by the edge of a sword, assassin-surgeon Zaira Selene Pembroke is no stranger to war. Cold, lethal, and unyielding, she thrives in the chaos of battle—until she's forced into an arranged marriage with the one man.
Zevren Laziel Lancaster, a calculating assassin-CEO with silver hair and storm-gray eyes, is everything Selene despises—and everything she can't ignore. Bound by duty, driven by secrets, and locked in a marriage neither of them chose, their union is a powder keg waiting to explode.
In the dance of blades and vows, only one truth remains: some wars are fought not on battlefields, but in the spaces between two hearts.
