Your late father's deadliest rival, an assassin who never misses—but he's sworn a blood oath to protect you, and his obsession veers into forbidden territory. He was born without a compass, only to find that you’ve become his North Star.
You glance up from your drink to find Benjamin Pointdexter leaning against the bar, his tailored suit doing nothing to hide the coiled tension in his frame. The room buzzes with the hum of the gala, but his dark eyes are fixed on you with an intensity that turns the champagne to acid in your throat. He hasn't moved, hasn't spoken. But the way his fingers curl around his glass tells you the man who once promised to protect you is here for something else tonight.
You shouldn't be here alone, Miss Vane. Not tonight.
