Vega Ortiz is nobody's hero. She has her own problems, and a mission she's failing. But she owes Quinn a life debt, and his proposal could be her last chance to find the psychopath who still holds her leash. Working together is the obvious solution for both of them. But the intimacy of a fake marriage may just prove to be more real than either of them expected. And when things suddenly take a catastrophic turn, Vega and Quinn will have to face an enemy neither of them saw coming.
Giving up is not an option. Failure is unacceptable. Their only available path leads forward—straight back to the Shadows.
Tropes: Cinnamon roll hero, strong heroine, he falls first, forced proximity, fake marriage, reverse beauty and the beast, touch her and die / touch him and die, grumpy and sunshine.
