Hazel Morgan was never supposed to be two people. To the world she’s the resort heiress: soft, betrayed, easy to break. The girl her fiancé Damon left for her stepsister, Rosa the night she signed her fortune away. The girl her father called “selfish” for crying. No one knows what happened in Italy. At 18, while her mother was dying, Hazel made a deal with a monster. “I’ll work for you until you’re tired of me.” That monster was Damien “D” Vale. She walked out as THE SHADOW HUNTER, the ghost of the underworld. For six years she killed and obeyed. Then she came home to Paris to build a normal life with Rees Resort, her mother’s last gift. Jason Ryan Blake has loved her for 23 years. Her best friend and CEO. The one who watched Damon destroy her. So he offers the only weapon he has: his name. “Marry me. How does marrying the most powerful man in Paris not make it the perfect revenge?” It’s a contract. No feelings. Just enough to ruin Damon. The headlines explode. At the Blake Golden Jubilee, Jason gets on one knee. “Hazel Morgan, will you marry me?” She says yes. That night, pretending becomes truth. In his suite, years of “don’t” burn. “Tell me to stop.” “I can’t. I want this.” Then D calls: “Vendôme. Now. Alone.” Ghosts don’t retire. “One more job. Then you’re free. That’s a promise.” Now Hazel lives three lives: perfect fiancée by day, THE SHADOW HUNTER by night, and a woman falling for the man she was never supposed to want. When the truth comes out, she must choose. Betray Jason to finish D’s job. Or claim both names Heiress. Assassin. and risk everything for the man who’s waited 23 years.
