A queen needs a consort and an heir. Not a deadly but gorgeous distraction...
Queen Raine cannot stop thinking about the assassin imprisoned in her dungeon. He's beautiful. He's dangerous.
And he wants her.
Madoc doesn't know she's his target, assuming that she's her bodyguard instead.. Magic keeps her true identity safe from him, and from everyone plotting to take her throne. But not even the most powerful spells in the land can shield her from her emotions. The assassin stirs desires and longings within her that she has not allowed herself to feel for a long time.
Then he makes an offer: spend one night of passion with him, and he'll tell her everything he knows about who hired him to kill her. It's a risk she shouldn't take. She can never trust him. She should kill him.
Yet she can't resist him.
As a shadowy conspiracy threatens Raine's hold on her crown, it will take magic--and the power of her unlikely connection with the assassin--for her to keep what is hers.
