Paxy12
When an assassin's bullet misses its mark, it ignites an obsession that will burn down two kingdoms.
Caspian Hale has everything the world envies: fame as England's star footballer, a royal engagement, and a future as King Consort. What they don't see are the whip marks hidden beneath designer suits, or the gun his father forced into his eleven-year-old hands the night his mother died.
Viktor Volkov is the bratva's most lethal weapon-cold, efficient, and three weeks away from retirement. His final assignment should be simple: kill the Prince. But when he finds Caspian bleeding and broken in a "correction room," everything changes.
One night of surveillance becomes an obsession. One moment of mercy becomes a death sentence. And one forbidden touch ignites a passion that could destroy them both.
Now Caspian is chained in his own basement, his would-be killer is the only person who's ever protected him, and the line between captor and captive has blurred beyond recognition. As secrets unravel-switched identities, royal conspiracies, and a father who will stop at nothing to maintain control-they're forced to choose: submit to the forces trying to tear them apart, or burn it all down together.
In a world where love is the most dangerous weapon of all, sometimes the only way to survive is to pull the trigger.
A dark, addictive MM romance featuring a morally grey assassin, a tortured athlete with a secret, explosive chemistry, and enough steam to melt your Kindle. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, captive romance, and stories where the villain gets the prince.
