Rhodes may have bitten off more than he can chew.  His latest contract gets dodgier the deeper he gets!  This merciless Princess is anything but and his inner dragon agrees with him.  Stella is sick of being cooped up in the realm.  Since her long-lost sister has been found she has been itching to go off on an adventure.  She manages to get herself a mission and as she makes her way to the portal she gets attacked.

Rhodes does not take kindly to Fae poaching on his contract and saves Stella ut has she jumped from the frying pan into the fire?

Dragon Assassins and Princesses are a complicated match at the best of times but add in a trip to New Orleans, Fae bounty hunters, poisonings and a possible mate who is placing fast and loose with the truth!

Stella is a breath of fresh air.  She just wants to be Stella, she wants to be anonymous and free for a while.  Rhodes is a bit of a lost soul.  He has no idea who his clan is but he knows what he's good at and he had a code of ethics as such and is really not pleased with the Domincary Fae sending rival bounty hunters! 

Mistaken identity, poisonings, fated mates, forced proximity and both MC's are V's!  The intimate moments between these two are so sweet and innocent but as they grow closer the intensity flashes hot!

There are some great scenes involving recurring characters in the world including Christian the vampire and his ... lion! Oh, and do not get in the way of Queen Soleil! I cannot wait to see what unfolds next!
