I was sent to kill him. I gave him an heir instead.

Sienna

My father raised me to be a weapon. Cold. Calculating. Lethal.

Varrick Bane was supposed to be just another target. Another king to topple. Another body to leave bleeding on concrete while I collected my father’s approval like coins.

But the Bastard King of Vancouver doesn’t die easy.

He saw through my seduction before I even walked through his door. Knew I came to kill him. And instead of putting a bullet in my head, he kept me close—too close—until the lines between predator and prey blurred beyond recognition.

Now I’m carrying his child. My father is demanding blood. My sister’s life hangs in the balance. And Varrick? He’s turned me from a weapon into something far more dangerous:

A woman with something to lose.

In this city, love is a death sentence and betrayal is currency. I have three weeks to kill the only man who’s ever seen me as more than a killer. Three weeks before my father kills everything I love.

The game was always rigged. But when you play with kings, even winning means losing everything.

***Silent Schemes is a dark romance novel written as a prequel in the Broken Blood series. Please note, this book can be extremely triggering to some readers and it does NOT end in an HEA, but it will give you context to the world that Varrick lives in. Don’t worry, Sienna will be back in book 1, and she is bringing trouble with her.
