He has a reputation of being the worst boss ever. And he's looking for a new personal assistant. So, why not give it a try? When you have nothing else to lose you don't mind working for a monster. Or that's what Sophia thought. Oh, but you should never mix business with pleasure.

Alina Starkov expected to wake up on a ship sailing across the True Sea, one that would take her far from Ravka, far from the Darkling and his mad crusade. Instead, she awoke in Os Alta to a devastating truth: the war was won nearly a century ago, her first love was dead, and she remembered nothing. Not even that, as part of her surrender, she agreed to a political marriage.

My first lemon, yaaaay. This happens right after Shadow And Bone, when Alina was kidnapped by a sailor and forced to work at a brothel. Mal turned out to have an infected wound, and the owners of the brothel won't give Mal the treatment he needs every day unless Alina earns enough money. But when Alina least expects it, she has to find a way to not be spotted by the Darkling, who decided to take a nice break from searching for her. The story will be told in different parts, you can choose Alina's POV for that part or the Darkling's POV (Yea I know this is lame and all I just wanted to write it)
