博客來He’s never failed a mission...until her.
Hunter is the most lethal member of the infamous Band of Bastards, a warrior known for working alone, living by a strict code, and finishing every mission with cold precision. Distractions are dangerous. And no distraction is more dangerous than the lady goldsmith who’s haunted his dreams for two years and threatens to crack the shell around his unworthy heart.
Anora has no choice but to take matters into her own hands. With her father aging and her brother gone, the burden of protecting their goldsmithing business, and uncovering the thief sabotaging it, falls squarely on her shoulders. When clues lead her to Castle Whyte, she risks everything to sneak inside and recover the stolen jewels.
But she never expects to run into Hunter.
For two years, he’s shared meals with her father but ignored her completely. Now, not even her protests can stop the infuriating man from interfering with her mission, or protecting her at every turn.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Anora and Hunter must navigate danger, desire, and the undeniable pull between them. She doesn’t know he’s in love with her. He doesn’t believe he’s worthy of her. But he’ll break every rule he’s ever lived by if it means keeping her safe.
Even if it means losing everything else.
