He was supposed to catch killers, not marry one.

Detective Boston has built a career on hunting dangerous people. Rules don’t scare him. Blood doesn’t bother him. And morality has always been … negotiable.

But nothing prepares him for the night he walks in to find her.

An assassin for hire with electric blue hair, a blade in her hand, and no intention of being caught.

He should arrest her.

Instead, he makes her an offer.

Marry him, and he’ll keep her secret.

Refuse, and her life will fall apart.

For him, it’s a calculated move.

For her, it’s blackmail dressed up as a wedding.

Living with an assassin was never part of the plan.

But the longer they’re married, the harder it becomes to decide who is more dangerous.

Cat gives this book 5 meows with a 4 purr heat index...

This is a book 4 in a series  it can be read alone however you understand the other characters and the secret society more if you read in order and it's that good that you will want to. 

This one has very in depth, co.plex characters.  I mean gotta be good if the main female lead is a kickbutt assassin right?  Yeah it doesn't dissapoint. Maven is right up there now for me for lead female characters.  

I loved the banter and battles between Maven and Boston. Theres also lots of secrets and lots of twists. So if high paced action, suspense and enemies to lovers is your thing grab this. I'm hoping Victor is next. 

USA Today Best Selling Author T.L. Smith loves to write her characters with flaws so beautiful and dark you can’t turn away. Her books have been translated into several languages. If you don’t catch up with her in her home state of Queensland, Australia you can usually find her travelling the world, either sitting on a beach in Bali or exploring Alcatraz in San Francisco or walking the streets of New York.
