I’m marked for a life that will doom me to lead.

I know all about duty, because I’ve been trained since birth. To play my part. To rule.
Marriage to a rival family will only ensure our success.

Except someone is hunting me, and Carter is the only thing standing in their way, making sure I survive.
He’s lethal, determined, and obsessed with loyalty. He’ll sacrifice my happiness for his family. This cat and
mouse game between us has no rules and leads to only one inevitable end. I’m on my own.
I know one thing for sure: falling for his deadly lies will get me killed, but I don’t have a choice.

If you like the sensuous bite of Kresley Cole, Holly Renee, C.R. Jane and K.R. Knight,
then you’ll devour this start to Melanie Kingsley’s dark, brilliant new mafia series.
