A Thorn among Fae

She would sooner steal his riches than open her heart to him. But when he hires her for a high-risk job, they must pretend to be what they're not before they're killed. Anova's no saint. Better to be a living thief than an honest corpse. But when her debts catch up to her, a dangerous fae bargain is the only way to keep her freedom. Despite her hatred of his folk for killing her mother, she agrees to work as the assassin for the young and mysterious fae lord, Leander. The catch? She must pose as his human lover. She's smarter than to fall for the arrogant fae using her for his profit. Yet the more she sees of the real Leander, the more she realizes he's not just the heartless fae she thought him to be. Demons from his past plague him, and he starts to live for more than cold revenge. But when the assassination triggers a blood curse, her hand is forced. One of them must die to stop the fae tyrant bent on enslaving humanity. Will it be her life? Or her heart?
