He’s the royal family’s most notorious playboy, a man who treats the throne like a suggestion and the women of Avce like a game. I’m the best friend of his brother’s new bride, and I’m supposed to be enjoying a breezy summer vacation, not falling into the bed of the one man I’m strictly forbidden to touch. Marcus Aussa is a temptation wrapped in high-stakes charm, and our secret, late-night encounters were supposed to stay buried under the Mediterranean stars. But the heat of our affair is nothing compared to the cold steel of an assassin’s blade moving through the palace shadows.
