Tempted by the Queen

Carlina I’m the secret my family kept from the world. The Queen that was to be used to gain them an alliance. I escaped, finally free to live my own life out in the open. A chance encounter with a beautiful stranger derailed my plans. My hope of freedom was torn from me—he took it from me. I need to fight for my freedom, fight for my family and finally embrace who I am and where I come from. Vincent I shut myself away from the world and dove into my work to focus on something other than my loss. She’s a job, a means to an end. It was supposed to be an easy capture and kill before I go dark and exact my revenge. I’m trained to kill, I’ve never missed a shot. They call me the bloodhound for that very reason: I’ll find anyone, anywhere, at any time. For the first time in over a decade, I miss the kill shot—because of her.
