I was a loose end. He turned me into an obsession.
Wren: I fix broken things. Ceramics, paintings, statues. I thought I could fix anything until I looked through a scope and saw him watching me. Vorn Kovak. The Iceman. The most lethal contractor on the West Coast. He was supposed to put a bullet in my head. instead, he knocked me unconscious and dragged me to a glass fortress on the edge of a snow-covered cliff. He says he's keeping me alive until the heat dies down. He says I signed a contract. He says if I run, the wolves outside will eat me. But the wolves outside are nothing compared to the wolf in the master bedroom. He is cold, scarred, and terrified of his own touch. I should hate him. I should run. But when the nightmares come, he's the only one who can wake me up. And when the men who hired him come to finish the job, I realize the terrifying truth: I'm not his prisoner anymore. I'm his leverage. And he's going to burn the world down to keep me.
Vorn: No witnesses. No attachments. No hesitation. Those were the rules. I broke all three the moment I saw Wren Arlington holding a dying bird in the park. I couldn't pull the trigger. So I took her. Now we are trapped in my safehouse, isolated by a blizzard that won't quit. She is soft, stubborn, and digs into my past like it's a wound she needs to stitch up. She looks at my scars and calls them a map. She looks at my hands-hands that have ended dozens of lives-and asks them to hold her. I am a disease. I am a weapon. I cannot be what she needs. But when my handlers realize I've gone rogue, they send a kill squad to sanitize the site. They think I'm trapped here with her. They're wrong. They're trapped in here with me.
THE ASSASSIN'S PROPERTY is a high-stakes, forced proximity dark romance thriller. It features a morally grey anti-hero, a resilient heroine, and a love story forged in violence and snow. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After (HEA).
