Beneath the Assassin's Touch

Sometimes the safest place is in the arms of the most dangerous man.​ When Viktor envisioned pulling the beautiful Baroness into his arms, he was thinking he wanted a quick roll in the hay... a one-night stand like he'd had with a lengthy list of ladies before her. Tossing her over his shoulder to escape her would-be assassins wasn't what he had in mind, yet that's exactly how she ended up in his arms the night they met. Now Viktor is stuck protecting the willful woman until they can solve the mystery of who would want her dead. He must use all his skills, as both pirate and assassin, to save her... and all his willpower to resist the growing feelings that threaten to pull him under. Baroness Nora Aberdeen finds herself ripped from a life of luxury, dependent on the infuriating assassin to keep her alive. Unsure who to trust, she can't deny the safety she feels when she's by his side. Dragged through England to places she never imagined, Nora struggles to survive while also struggling to battle the feelings the roguish pirate awakens within her. Can they fight their feelings while they fight for their lives? Will he be able to save her, and in doing so save himself... or will pride and duty tear them apart?
