They say beauty is a weapon. Trust me, Ive turned it into an art form.
Im Xander Laskin—vigilante, lethal seducer, and absolutely obsessed with my new handler. Ash Valentine is everything I never knew I needed: ex-FBI legend, iron-willed disciplinarian, and a man whos about to discover he isnt as straight as he thought.
Our mission is simple: infiltrate fashion icon Avery Roches inner circle and expose a killer who turns beautiful boys into preserved art. Playing newlyweds should be easy—Im excellent at seduction, and Ash Well, lets just say his possessive streak isnt entirely for show. But when we discover Roche is keeping the child of a Russian crime boss as their latest muse, the stakes become deadly personal.
Ive spent my life using beauty as armor, turning heads while hiding knives. But Ash sees past my careful masks, past the dresses and deadly grace, to the broken parts I thought no one could want. As our fake marriage ignites very real passion, were both discovering that some boundaries are meant to be crossed.
One thing is certain: by the end of this mission, hell be mine completely. He just doesnt know it yet.
