Two enemies, one goal: steal each other's hearts.
Scarlett Grey, disgraced assassin, is determined to get revenge.
Quinn Adams, medic turned-poisoner for hire, is her deadliest rival.
For years, they've stolen each other's clients, sabotaged each other's business, and occasionally… slept together.
When the Magician Queen offers an irresistible deal, Scarlett and Quinn are forced to work together. But this is not a simple job.
With an impossible heist ahead, they’re going to have to trust each other…
And that's not easy when they both have secrets to hide.
Harder still when those secrets will betray the ones they love.
Now neither woman is sure if it’s a heist they want to win or a heart.
Two women, two deadly professions, and a romance that could be their downfall.
This is a steamy lesbian fantasy romance with enemies to lovers, a heist, found family, a secret royal, and only one bed.

Love it! Couldn't wait before ordering the next one!
I loved the fact that the story is told through a double POV and i really liked the chemistry between Quinn and Scarlett. beautiful book, 10/10 would recommend!
A friend of mine suggested I must read this book because "It's definitely up your alley". Yes I'm a lesbian so obviously I had to give it a try. Mind you I'm not much of a reader. I don't have a lot of time with work/relationships but my gods I finished this book in three days. I loved the characters the story (and of course the spicy parts) The enemies to lovers Is apparently my cup of tea. The story was great the romance kept me on my toes. Definitely going to reading the rest of the series. Thank you RR
So good, i bought the physical bundle to read the rest and have a physical copy of this one ;)
