In a game of love and hate, who will emerge victorious?
Scarlett Grey, a skilled assassin, is determined to be the best in her field. Quinn Adams, a cunning poisoner, is her most formidable rival.
For years, they've stolen each other's clients, sabotaged each other's work, and occasionally... given in to their burning desire.
When a series of high-stakes jobs forces them into each other's orbits, they're going to have to confront their feelings... But that's not easy when every encounter is a battle of wits and will.
As the line between rivalry and attraction blurs, they face an impossible choice: Do they want to win the game or each other's hearts?
From clandestine warehouse encounters to steamy club nights, their journey is fraught with danger, desire, and unexpected proposals.
Now, neither woman is sure if it's victory they seek or a love that could change everything.
Two deadly magicians, one explosive attraction, and a romance that could be their greatest triumph... or their ultimate downfall.
This contains bonus smutilogue 'A Game of Parties and Proposals', and 'A Game of Love and Hate' prequel novella for Quinn and Scarlett.
This is a steamy lesbian fantasy romance with enemies to lovers, professional rivalry, found family, and a love that defies all odds. 18+ only.
