By day, Raven Thornhill is the perfect heiress, polished, poised, and born of old blood. By night, she becomes something far more dangerous: the Black Court's most lethal weapon, trained to eliminate threats with elegance and silence.
Her world is built on secrets and control...until she's forced into an arranged marriage with Aiden Cross, the elusive ruler of London's criminal underworld. Powerful, untouchable, and draped in darkness.
But nothing about their marriage is what it seems.
Not the timing.
Not the motives.
And especially not the man she's expected to bring to his knees.
Because the deeper Raven steps into Aiden's world, the more she realizes..
She's not the only one wearing a mask.
And the devil she was sent to kill... might already own her soul.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.
