Thorned Roses

Prologue

She stole from the wrong man.

For years, she lived as nothing more than a prisoner in a mansion built on blood, forced to work for one of the country's most feared syndicate leaders. Freedom was never an option—until the night she escaped, taking with her a fortune that was never meant to leave his hands.

Now, every killer in the underworld is hunting her.

Especially him.

A year ago, he was only a stranger—a legendary assassin who asked for one thing in exchange for settling a debt.

Her.

One unforgettable night. No names. No promises. No future.

Now, he's been hired to find her... and kill her.
