She was raised to lie, trained to kill, and built to survive. Now she's falling for the one man who sees through her. Lucinda Corvinne is a sharp-tongued ex-Military Police defector with too many secrets and even more knives. Levi Ackerman doesn't trust her. She doesn't care. But command says they work together. Closely. Tension like a wire. Chemistry like a blade. This isn't just a love story. It's a slow-burn war with too much trauma, too many bad jokes, and one extremely unkillable girl who keeps pissing off the captain. TW: Smut 🍋, strong language, substance use, references to self-harm / suicidal behavior. (Book One of The Books of Luce Trilogy)
