He should have died. She made sure he didn't.
The bullet was laced with Vesperine, a poison that vanished twenty-two years ago along with the massacre no one in the city will name. It was meant to kill Vaelor Dravenne, the ruthless heir to the most feared family on the docks.
Instead, he ended up on the table of Zelvara Veyne, an off-the-books healer who knows the one antidote no one alive should remember.
She saved his life. Now he wants to know how.
Zelvara has spent her whole life hiding a name. The Dravennes have spent theirs cursing it. When a body is left in the family courtyard with her dead mother's mark carved beside it, she becomes the perfect suspect and the only witness who can unlock the truth.
Someone inside the Dravenne house wants the heir gone. Someone else wants her blamed. And the closer they get to the secret buried under the massacre, the harder it is to tell who is protecting them and who is playing them both.
Keep her close. Trust no one. And whatever you do, don't fall for the enemy's daughter.
Dark mafia romance with a morally gray hero, a fearless heroine, forced proximity, buried family secrets, and a twist you won't see coming.
