I walked into our bedroom and found my husband with another woman. Five years of loyalty, five years of building his empire from our kitchen table, and he threw me away because I was "too boring." So I did the one thing a good girl would never do. I went to a bar, picked the most dangerous man in the room, and begged him to erase Fred from my life. One night of fire, lust, and freedom, and then I saw him again, my divorce lawyer. Julian Harlow. Cold, ruthless, unstoppable. The same man who spent the night worshiping me is now legally forbidden to touch me. Fred thinks he broke me. He is about to learn, I don't play by his rules anymore.

Anne-Marie Lukasz has always been the quiet one, but she's the mind behind her family's power. When a brutal war forces a truce, she's given to the most dangerous man in the city, the Wolf King, as a bride to seal the deal. But the marriage is a lie. Anne-Marie has three months to get close to him and kill him. Living in his world, surrounded by enemies, she plays her role carefully, watching, learning, waiting for a weakness. It should be simple. Except he isn't what she expected. The closer she gets, the harder it becomes to separate the mission from the man. And the one she was sent to destroy is slowly becoming the only person who truly sees her. Now she has to decide. Finish what she was sent to do, or risk everything for a man she was never meant to love.
