His Deadly, Desired Assassin

You’ve got five seconds to explain how you got in here before I decide what part of you to break first,” he said calmly. She turned, slowly and measured. No fear. Just cool, calculating eyes the color of storm clouds. “That’s one hell of a welcome,” she said. Ezra took a step forward. “You’re not supposed to be breathing.” She smiled faintly. “Neither are you, from what I’ve read.” That pulled a flicker of curiosity from him. She knew who he was. That wasn’t unusual. Lira Black’s latest assignment was supposed to be simple: infiltrate, eliminate, vanish. But when she faces Ezra Raine the cursed vampire prince whose very presence ignites her blood everything she knows about control and desire shatters. Ezra has lived centuries in darkness, mastering power and lust alike, yet Lira awakens something in him no one else ever could: a hunger he cannot tame, a need he cannot resist. Enemies, allies, and forbidden desires collide in a dangerous game of blood, magic, and seduction. Every touch, every kiss, every whispered command brings them closer to a truth neither was prepared to face and a fire neither can escape. In a world where betrayal is inevitable, only passion can save them… or destroy them both.
