BLURB:
As a palace guard and assassin for the Dark
Fae, Xanthe always wore a mask, hiding her emotions to do her duty. But when
her identity is compromised, she trades undercover work for guarding Queen
Niniane—a position that often brings her in contact with Chancellor Aubrey
Riordan.
Aubrey’s trust is shattered. A year ago his
wife tried to assassinate their new queen in his name, a betrayal of everything
he believes in. And now an attack on his life is proof the dark conspiracy is
not yet over. Although injured and weak, Aubrey can’t help but be drawn to this
shy assassin and loyal protector. Xanthe is everything Naida wasn’t, and the
passion she stirs in him is something he thought had long passed him by.
Warning: Take a man recovering from an
assassination attempt, the assassin sworn to protect him, add in a magical
Tarot card deck and an isolated cabin, and watch the sparks fly!
LT’S REVIEW: This is just the sweet and sexy story I need. It was really sweet how an assassin can turn shy and sweet in the present of a man she has had feelings for from a far for a long time. At first she thought it was just heroism, until she got to know the real man. Aubrey has been half a man since his wife betrayed the queen and was killed. After being found clear of any wrong doing Aubrey couldn’t forgive himself for not seeing the type of person he had married. He felt he would never trust again. That is until he wakes up wounded in an unknown place and has to trust an ex-assassin who is now a palace guard with his life and maybe even his heart.
My Rating: 4
