"She hired him to end lives. She didn't expect him to surrender his heart."
Once a young woman with dreams and a father she adored, Nyssa's happiness was shattered the day a cruel man tore her freedom away. Forced into a marriage of shadows and violence, death seemed like her only escape from the bed of a tyrant.
But when Dracko the Barbarian falls dead in the frozen woods, everything changes. Overnight, Nyssa becomes the legal owner of his lands, his gold... and his enemies.
Now a widow branded by the name of the man who destroyed her, she faces a brutal reality: kill or be killed.
Fate intervenes in the form of Luthor "The Executioner," a legendary bounty hunter known for his iron mask, lethal gaze, and a reputation that stains the snow red. He was only looking to collect his latest prize and head home, but after saving the golden-haired widow, he realizes the man he just slaughtered was Dracko-a man with a fortune on his head.
Luthor doesn't believe in heroes. Nyssa doesn't believe in saviors.
But danger demands an alliance.
Waking up in the hunter's cabin, Nyssa knows she cannot survive the jackals circling her inheritance alone. She offers Luthor a deal he cannot refuse:
He will be her guardian... and her hired assassin. She will pay him for the head of every man who helped destroy her home and the lives of the farmers like her father. Together, they will unleash a storm of justice upon a rotted kingdom.
What neither expects is that shared blood, constant peril, and long nights under the same roof will ignite something forbidden-a romance born of vengeance and death, as sharp and dangerous as a blade's edge.
She is the monster's widow.
He is the executioner of kings.
Their union could be the kingdom's greatest threat... or its only salvation. In a world of wolves, falling in love is the deadliest sin of all
