To escape the sentient manor, she must seduce her enemy and break the curse. To get her revenge, she must guard her identity...And her heart.

Brielle never expected to be imprisoned in a sentient manor that hates her, but after ten years of loneliness, rage, and being denied her freedom, she has one final chance to escape. Make someone fall in love with her before the curse renews, or be locked inside forever.

The only problem? No one else has ever been allowed inside Rose Manor…Until now. But the assassin with shadow magic is Brielle's trueborn enemy. A fae. He's also arrogant, charming, deceitful. Everything she despises in men.

And worse? He's hunting her.

Torn between his duty to the crown and his overwhelming need to claim the tiny human Hellcat, Caderyn bargains with Brielle—if they escape the manor, he'll let her live. With her sister in danger, and the revenge she craves almost in reach, Brielle agrees to his terms. But she knows that trusting him will only end in something worse than death: heartbreak. A thing she vows to never suffer again.

And when the secretive fae assassin marks her heart, she'll do whatever it takes to survive him too.
