Royal Blood

"There was no black and white in my world. It was black or blacker. And I was the blackest of them all."

Xavier "X" Blood only remembers the last few years of his life.

Trained to be an emotionless and deadly assassin, he goes through each day crossing names off a never-ending list, never once asking why they deserve what he delivers.

Death.

Then his programming begins to unravel, and it's all because of her.

Mercy Reid has a secret. A big one. The kind that will get her killed if it ever gets out. Desperate to disappear, she runs from one hopeless situation and straight into the path of a monster—a man programmed by the worst of the worst to kill without remorse.

A man who is looking for her.

When X is given his latest target, the lines begin to blur. He knows his mark is right in front of him, but for the first time, pulling the trigger isn't so simple. Mercy is awakening something inside him that shouldn't exist. Something human.

Will X defy his programming and save the woman who has made him feel again?

Or will he do what he was created to do…and pull the trigger?

Royal Blood is the first book in the Royal Blood series, a dark romantic suspense series of assassins, dangerous secrets, deadly enemies, and forbidden desire. X was trained to kill without remorse, but the woman he's supposed to eliminate might be the only person capable of saving what's left of his soul.
