Bound By Blood And Magic (Mermaid X Assassin (Lesbian Stories))

(WARNING: CONTAINS SEXUALLY EXPLICIT SCENES, NUDITY, AND VIOLENCE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!)

Emma Jonah Smoak is not merely brilliant or beautiful-she is the government's most carefully hidden weapon. Trained to execute its dirtiest secrets without hesitation or emotion, Emma lives by one rule: feel nothing.

But during a routine mission gone violently wrong, Emma crosses into a world that should not exist-a realm of magic, monstrous beings, and ancient laws written in blood.

There, an impossible red string coils itself around her ring finger, binding her to Cecilia-a woman who looks human, almost fragile, yet carries something unmistakably other. Something that does not belong to Emma's world... or entirely to this one.

Bound by fate, Emma begins to feel emotions she was never meant to have.
Desire. Fear. Attachment. Love.

There is only one rule she must never break: do not fall in love.
Because in this world, love is not salvation-it is a death sentence. And the cost will not be hers alone.
As Emma is torn between duty and desire, she must decide what she is willing to lose: her mission, her identity, or the one person tethered to her soul by an unbreakable string.

In a world where magic is cruel, loyalty is fragile, and fate never loosens its grip- will Emma sever the bond before it destroys them both, or will she let the string tighten until there is no escape?

A story of forbidden love, brutal magic, and the dangerous humanity found in between.
