Austin’s had a crush on the sad, reclusive heiress for years, but the difference in their social status stopped him from approaching her. He’s not one to pretend, but how can he refuse to help her now?

What will happen to their growing feelings for each other when a new clue that Kennedy’s cousin might still be alive takes Austin and Kennedy on a dangerous journey neither one of them expected?

Dealing with one arrogant, temperamental author who is making demands on my time is all part of the job.
I’m head of the London branch of Carlson Publishing and if I can organize the hell out of my three older stepbrothers, I can handle one difficult best-selling author.
If that requires me to drive half a day to a remote Cornish cottage to get his contract signed, then that’s what I’ll do.
But when the author turns out to be the tall, gorgeous, Scottish man who made me weak at the knees during our one-night stand two months before, a publishing contract is the last thing on my mind.

A princess turned thief. A lost prince. An assassin with many faces.

Eliza was doomed to die before she took her first breath. Stripped of her kingdom and what little magic she possessed, she has survived the slums of the city with just one goal in mind—to break her curse by killing the man who placed it upon her. Prince Alexander of Indara.

As their fates entwine, secrets unravel, loyalties shift, and betrayal lurks in the shadows.

Eliza has a choice to make: finish what she started and hopefully live to tell the tale, or risk everything to do what she knows in her heart is right.
