A thrilling tale of seduction, power, and betrayal, The Man With the Violet Eyes plunges readers into a world where survival demands ruthless choices, and nothing is as it seems. Master Nicolo, known as "The Unbreakable," is more than a legend—he's an unstoppable force with a deadly reputation. As protector to Prince Balduin, Nicolo’s skill in combat and his preternatural instincts make him a man you don’t cross. But beneath his terrifying exterior lies a haunted past, where his friendship with a dying prince lifted him from poverty and set his fate in motion. For me, an assassin with orders to kill Nicolo, this mission is supposed to be just another job. But as I travel alongside Nicolo on a dangerous quest, the man I’ve been sent to kill begins to reveal a different side—a charismatic force that draws me in deeper with every step. Seduction becomes a weapon in this deadly game, and I’m torn between the power of his allure and the weight of my deadly task. When Nicolo uncovers my betrayal, everything changes. Cast into the dungeons of Woodfall Gath, I escape only to find myself in the hands of Duke Wylder, a rebel plotting to overthrow the kingdom. As the rebellion grows, so does the battle for my heart and soul—torn between the intoxicating pull of Nicolo’s dark charm and my new allegiance to Wylder's cause. The Man With the Violet Eyes is a sexy, pulse-pounding fantasy where passion and power collide and every choice comes at a deadly cost. In a kingdom ruled by deception, who will come out on top?
The second book in an addictive Historical Fantasy Romance series, perfect for fans of Jennifer Armentrout and Sarah Maas. When Master Nicolo realizes his mother is still alive, he tells me I’m to join him on his quest to locate her. This little adventure will give me the perfect opportunity to assassinate him—something the prince eagerly reminds me of. Yet, I’m torn… Even though I’m not supposed to get feelings for my targets, I can’t help but think I’ve grown a bit of an attachment to Nicolo. Yes, he has a rough exterior, and yes, there are times when I wish I’d already accomplished my task, but there are also moments when he reveals something deeper—someone kinder, someone nobler, and someone even funny. Regardless, I’m well aware that I have a job to do, and the time to do it is dwindling away. But once we leave the walls of Woodfall Gath, just the two of us, any fondness I might have harbored for Nicolo only grows, especially when he reveals a side of himself I didn’t know existed. In fact, I’m fairly certain even he didn’t know it existed. I have a decision to make—to kill Nicolo or not to kill Nicolo? And if I don’t kill him, could we have a future together? Or is our future doomed because everything between us is built on nothing but lies?
After returning to Woodfall Gath and Nicolo learning the truth about what I am and what I was sent to the Gath to do, I find myself in a grave situation… ‘Grave’ as in I’m being sent to the castle dungeons where I’ll be left to rot. Or worse. One thing every assassin learns early on is never to get caught. And if you do get caught, get out. So, that’s exactly what I do. And when I escape, I find myself landing in the hands of one very unlikely ally—Duke Wylder. Now helping to lead Wylder’s rebellion against King Balduin, I’m also firmly on Nicolo’s opposing side. And while I want to believe that the Nicolo I loved in Simnel is still somewhere within ‘The Terrible,’ and I want to trust that Nicolo will see the wrong in Balduin, I might be making a huge mistake.
