Jewel of the Assassin

If you love something, you don’t let anyone else claim it. You take it. You keep it. You kill for it.

THE JEWEL
I was raised to be a pawn. A Volkov princess bartered to the highest bidder. My father gave me to Anton Makarova, a man I never wanted. My only excitement was my stalker in the shadows.
Until the crash.
I woke on a secluded island estate with no memory. A wedding ring on my finger. A husband who swears I’m his. He calls me his wife. His queen. His everything.
Roman Makarova terrifies me. Consumes me. And I’ve never wanted anything more.

THE ASSASSIN
Six years, I built this empire for her. Six years of blood, steel, and sacrifice to claim what was always mine. Valentina Volkov.
My father tried to give her to my brother. I staged a car crash instead. Now she’s in my world, in my bed, in my control. She doesn’t remember the life she left behind—and I’ll never let her go back.
She is my obsession. My queen. My soul. Together, we’ll burn the world and bury our enemies in their own graves.
She was never theirs.
She was always mine.
The jewel of my crown.

A dark, dual-POV mafia romance with obsession, betrayal, pitch-black trauma, and a rising comeback of blood-soaked desecration of a church.
