Until Death Do Us Part

He thinks she's his possession. He doesn't know she's his punishment.

To the people of Santa Dela Vida, Elara Villarosa is a porcelain doll-quiet, graceful, and born of old money. After the tragic death of her parents, she was raised under the strict eye of the family lawyer and groomed to fulfill a promise forged in desperation: her hand in marriage to the town's most powerful family.

Now, she's days away from wedding Mayor Alonso Miguel de la Vega, the golden boy of Santa Dela Vida-wealthy, admired, and terrifyingly unreadable. What the world sees is a perfect match. What Elara feels is a gilded cage.

The engagement is part of a binding agreement-an unbreakable deal her parents made for her protection. But Elara doesn't want safety. She wants freedom. Because beneath her silken facade lies a dark secret: by night, she is a hired killer, taking down high-ranking men who abuse their power-men like the very ones her fiancé surrounds himself with.

Alonso knows nothing of her secret life. To him, she is delicate, obedient, and entirely his. But as Elara's newest target brings her closer to the de la Vega family's darkest secrets, the lines between her mission and her cage begin to blur.

She was promised to him. But she never promised to love him.
And she definitely never promised not to destroy him.
