Warden and the Assassin

I’m the sister you don’t want to meet in a dark alley.

 

Being an assassin for hire comes with perks—like skills no one else has. Blame my magical bloodline and a mother who thought the perfect sweet sixteen gift was a set of throwing knives and a revolver.



When a rare artifact teleports me into a deadly jungle for a “job interview,” I should’ve listened to my sister’s warning to stay away from the stranger offering me work. But she also said we’d end up in bed—so, mixed messages.



Enter the Warden. Real name: Bane. He’s powerful, moody, and carrying a curse that makes death look friendly. His offer? Keep him alive through an ancient, magic-fueled trial, and I get my pick of priceless treasures—and maybe save the world while I’m at it.



Hero material? Not exactly. But when monsters close in and desire burns hotter than the jungle heat, I’ll fight tooth, spell, and steel to survive. Because falling for Bane might destroy me…

…and walking away might destroy everything else.
