How to marry an assassin in 6 months

Aaliyah Louis is one of the deadliest assassins her family has ever trained.

She doesn't believe in love, and she certainly doesn't believe in marriage. In her world, emotions get people killed and commitment is just another kind of vulnerability. Living in a matriarchal family marriage and kids were always her nightmare

But her life stops being entirely her own when a bet is made.

Six months.
One challenge.
Prove she can open herself to love, trust, and the possibility of marriage without losing her edge as a top assassin.

Helion Davis is not part of the assignment.

He's the complication. Helion Davis, mafia prince. He's everything Aaliyah hates. He got his space for simply being a man, all the women in his family are only seen as trophy's and baby makers.

What she didn't know was that he is controlled, powerful, and dangerously observant, Helion doesn't try to tame her. He studies her. Waits for her. Pushes just enough to make her question everything she thought she knew about control, independence, and what it means to be seen as more than a weapon.

For Aaliyah, the challenge was never just about love.

It was about proving she's more than what her family trained her to be.

But as the six months begin to close in, the lines between strategy and feeling start to blur and what was supposed to be a test turns into something neither of them can fully control.

Because learning how to love someone is dangerous.

But learning how to let yourself be loved might be what breaks her entirely.
