The Serpent's Kiss

Liora Vexley was never meant to survive.

Born into a bloodline cursed by secrets and whispered spells, she's spent her life tending to a forbidden garden-where white flowers bloom red and no one enters without leaving something behind. When her twin sister is found dead among the petals, Liora isn't grieving. She's furious. And she's ready to burn everything down to find out why.

Kael Dren is a weapon in human skin. Cold. Controlled. Paid to kill her sister and disappear without a trace. But one look at Liora, and the job unravels. She's sharp-tongued, all fire and fury, and when she looks at him like that-like she knows what he is and wants him anyway-he forgets every rule he's ever lived by.

She should be off-limits.
He should be her end.
Instead, he pins her against the garden wall and kisses her like he's starving.

In a world built on blood, desire is the most dangerous poison of all.
And when the serpent comes to claim his kiss... he never leaves without a bite.
