Description:
Serin Baeley is not who she seems. To the world, she is a brilliant but impoverished student, bullied for her intelligence and overlooked by her own family. But beneath that fragile mask, she is something far more dangerous-an elite government-trained assassin, a ghost in the shadows, executing criminals who have evaded justice.
Haunted by a past she can't escape, Serin has always believed she could keep her two lives separate. That is, until he enters the picture.
Riven Ashford has always known who she is. A powerful figure within the same secret organization, he has watched her from the moment she was recruited. Obsessed. Intrigued. And now, he is done waiting in the shadows. As he pushes his way into her life, their connection spirals into something dark and all-consuming-dangerous yet irresistible.
But when the past resurfaces, revealing the one person Serin never expected to betray her-her own brother-everything begins to crumble. Lies unravel. Blood is spilled. And as Serin faces the ultimate choice between duty and her own desires, she must decide: Can she truly escape the life she was forced into? Or will she and Riven lose themselves in the darkness they were born to embrace?
A gripping tale of obsession, betrayal, and love twisted in shadows-where the line between devotion and destruction is razor-thin.
