He was the only man in the world who could survive her kiss.Harlow Carrenwell has spent her entire life being a weapon. Born into the most powerful family in Lunameade, she was raised not to be a daughter but a tool a vessel for the poison that runs in the blood of every Carrenwell woman, a curse that kills any man with a single kiss. By the age of twenty-three, she has ended seventeen lives. Each one a monster. Each one dispatched in the dark, her lips the last thing they ever feel. In the glittering ballrooms of the city's aristocracy, she is known only as the beautiful young widow, the silent daughter of a political dynasty. But in the shadowed alleyways and forgotten corners of the city, she is the vigilante a ghost who delivers justice to the men who believe their wealth and power put them above the law.She has convinced herself she is content with this life. That the cold, calculating focus of a killer is the only thing she is capable of feeling. That she is a monster, and monsters do not get to dream of love.Then she meets Henry Havenwood, and everything she believes about herself begins to unravel.Henry is the heir to a family that vanished twenty years ago, disappearing from Lunameade without a trace and leaving behind a legacy of secrets and a betrothal contract signed three centuries ago. His return is a scandal, a sensation, and a threat. He is tall and dark and dangerously quiet, with eyes that seem to see straight through Harlow's carefully constructed masks. He is also, according to the ancient pact that binds their families, her next husband. And the Carrenwell family has made it clear that Harlow is to marry him, just as she married the first husband they chose for her, and then ensure he does not live to see the end of the year.Harlow agrees. She has no choice. She has never had a choice. She prepares herself for the familiar ritual of seduction and death. She will get close to him. She will earn his trust. She will kiss him, and he will die, just like all the others.But Henry Havenwood does not die. When she kisses him a kiss meant to stop his heart nothing happens. The poison in her blood, the venom that has defined her entire existence, fails to kill him. Instead of collapsing, Henry smiles. Instead of fear, his dark eyes hold a spark of something else entirely amusement, recognition, and a knowing that terrifies her more than any threat ever has.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/97/824/627/9978246274_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "19.99", "online_price" : "19.99", "our_price" : "19.99", "club_price" : "19.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
