A Knife for the King

For thirty-one years, Dario Sabbatini has been the knife his family points at other men. He feels nothing. He wants nothing. It is the only way to survive a house that drowns its problems and calls it a good night's work.

Then a cook comes aboard the family's superyacht with steady hands and a false name, and the order comes down from the top: watch her, use what she can do, and put her over the side when she is spent.

Paige Kelliher was never only a cook. She can read the fortune this crime dynasty has hidden in plain sight, and she climbed the gangway carrying a secret that could burn the whole empire to the waterline. Trapped on open water with nowhere to run, the prisoner and the blade sent to end her circle a hunger that will get them both killed.

She was sent to read them. He was sent to drown her.

Neither of them counted on falling.
