I’m a soldier. A killer. The Russian Elite. She’s a mafia princess. A job. A runaway bride. My business is death, however, I find myself manipulated into becoming a glorified babysitter to Adelina Ricci. She’s spoiled, naive, reckless, and yet she see’s parts of me I didn’t know existed. Makes me want things I had never even imagined. I will protect her from everything, but I can’t save her from me—that damage is already done. A lethal knight. A rebellious pawn. A lie that will ruin them both. Loathe me or love me?

Adelina Ricci was a job, until she became much more. I was tasked to protect her, but I failed. Now she is in the hands of the enemy, and this time, she doesn’t want saving. She’s going to marry him. We’re bound in a tangled web of loyalty and lies, betrayal and longing. She needs to avenge her fathers death. I just need her. A princess in a tower. A hero without a cause. A love that may ruin them both. Leave me or love me?

I am Adelina Ricci-Bianchi, and I will end them all. My life used to be simple, or simple as it can be when you’re the daughter of a mafia boss. Then my father was killed, and everything changed. My new husband is the enemy, but the real monster here is the man I love. Villains parade as heroes and deceit lays around every corner. They think they can control me. They have no idea what is coming. A killer with a heart. A puppet queen. A love pushed to the limits. Leave me or love me?
