Tempted by the Queen

Summary

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.
