the bard 
and the bandit

What happens when a one-night stand with a stranger turns into a catastrophic mistake?

​

Cirian Adair has only ever wanted to keep the people he loves safe—which is admittedly ironic when you’re a heartless assassin bound to kill people for a living. As one of the Hunt’s most efficient assassins, he has never failed a contract. Until he’s meant to kill the bard he’s fallen for.

 

Talia Laurier is a bard with a dangerous secret: she’s a siren, with an appetite for emotion and a ring that keeps it leashed. After one reckless night with a stranger at the Kelpie’s Kiss, her ring goes missing. By the time she returns for it, the tavern has burned to ash.

​

And the stranger is gone.
