"Damien Hawthorne... you're ruining my marriage!"
What do you do when you find out that the man you've been trying to track down for two years is the same man whom you've been married to for five years? ANASTASIA STERLING, secretly known as Scarlett Daggerhart, is one of the greatest assassins the world has ever known. But when a mission goes horribly wrong, she finds out that the people she trusted have been hiding terrible secrets from her that she can't ignore.
***
LUCAS STERLING only has eyes for his wife. In her eyes, he's always been out to kill her, but that's nowhere close to the truth. Because the moment he saw the gleam in her eyes on her target file, he promised himself no danger would come to Scarlett Daggerhart while she was on the job.

Scarlet CODE
Trust no one-especially the one who makes your heart race Aeloria Vale, famously known as Agent Vixen, was a force of calculated precision. Celebrated for her level-headed thinking and lethal mastery of any weapon, she was the obvious choice for the critical national mission, Operation Scarlet. Her objective was daunting: retrieve the paramount Leader of the agency from deep within enemy territory. Yet, Aeloria's usual unshakeable focus crumbled the moment she saw her mandatory partner: Andrius Van der Bilt, Agent Slate. Slate was her greatest operational liability. From the day she joined, he had made his relentless, charming pursuit of her his personal side mission. His constant, disarming mixture of flirting and nagging was usually irritating, yet she couldn't deny that a rebellious part of her enjoyed the attention. Focus, Vixen. This is the Leader. This is the Agency. She forcefully purged the thought. She was not going to be distracted by some infuriatingly handsome operative-not now. She absolutely needed to remain focused... right?

In the high-stakes world of corporate power, where billion-dollar deals are sealed with a handshake and destroyed with a whisper, one mistake can ruin everything... or ignite a fire that consumes you whole. Sienna Monroe built her empire from the ground up-a ruthless, sharp-tongued powerhouse feared in every boardroom. Her only rule? Never mix business with pleasure, especially not with the man who's made it his life's mission to destroy her career: Vincent Brooks. Arrogant, calculating, devastatingly charming, Vincent is the last man she would ever willingly touch. Until one reckless night changes everything. What began as a heated argument in a secluded Manhattan bar ends in a haze of whiskey, lust, and a single mistake that neither of them can forget. But Vincent Brooks doesn't make mistakes-he makes plans. And Sienna is starting to realize that what happened between them wasn't an accident at all. Now Vincent seems to be everywhere she turns-at her meetings, in her private life, and haunting her thoughts with sinful promises and a hunger that feels dangerously like obsession. The lines between hate and desire blur until every encounter burns hotter than the last. Yet beneath Vincent's controlled, confident exterior lies a man with secrets that could ruin them both-and Sienna is about to discover just how far he's willing to go to possess her completely. When passion turns into a deadly game of power, deceit, and undeniable craving, Sienna must decide: will she fight the man who's always been her enemy... or surrender to the rival who just might be her downfall?
