The princess and a dead man. They say money makes the world go round. They’d be wrong. Sure, power can be bought, but you can gain a hell of a lot more with knowledge. With knowledge comes fear. I’ve seen it. I’ve caused it. I’ve even been the brunt of it. But when a stowaway princess barrels into my life like a runaway train, I throw patience out the window—the same one I jump out of, taking her with me. Now, I’ve got more problems than any contract killer deserves. That includes Aliyah Zahir—an internationally coveted socialite, a true royal, and a social media sensation. Returning to the lion’s den, she ends up in harm’s way—all for a mirage. She’s chasing a ghost, but instead, she finds a dead man. I’m done being patient. It’s my turn to administer fear for a change, and no one is better equipped to fix Liyah’s problems than me. And I’m never giving her back.
