Romance Historical
Living breath-to-breath beneath the shadow of violence, Italian perfumer and apothecary Allegra Grimaldi was forced to learn the killing arts from the Hand of Godโa religious assassin. She has sworn never to use her deadly skills, but now a blackmailer has her by the proverbial throat. To save her family from an ugly death, she must do the unthinkable. Infiltrate the court of King Henry VIII, poison the heretic Anne Boleyn before she becomes queenโand frame Anneโs bastard brother for the crime. Honest and principled, Sir Joscelin is the perfect pawn. Allegra is clever, captivatingโฆand her warning to Anne immediately rouses Joscelinโs suspicion. Sworn to protect his sister, and striving for recognition from the powerful father who disdains him, Joscelin has no choice but to put aside his attraction to the mysterious lady and gather evidence to see her burn for witchcraft. To avert a disaster that will change the face of Europe, this stalwart soldier of incorruptible integrity and the fallen woman who breathes deception must learn to trust each otherโand discover the one truth that could save them all.
