Why Read This?

The enemies-to-lovers tension between two rival assassins is scorching, and the heist plot keeps the pacing tight. Perfect for readers who want sapphic fantasy with real bite.

Synopsis

Two enemies, one goal: steal each other's hearts. Scarlett Grey, disgraced assassin, is determined to get revenge. Quinn Adams, medic turned-poisoner for hire, is her deadliest rival. For years, they've stolen each other's clients, sabotaged each other's business, and occasionally… slept together. When the Magician Queen offers an irresistible deal, Scarlett and Quinn are forced to work together. But this is not a simple job. With an impossible heist ahead, they’re going to have to trust each other… And that's not easy when they both have secrets to hide. Harder still when those secrets will betray the ones they love. Now neither woman is sure if it’s a heist they want to win or a heart. Two women, two deadly professions, and a romance that could be their downfall. This is a steamy lesbian fantasy romance with enemies to lovers, a heist, found family, a secret royal, and only one bed.
