Prince and Assassin (Perilous Courts Book 1)

He’s supposed to kill Prince Julien. Not fall for him. Whisper doesn’t remember his real name. All he knows is the elite assassin guild that raised him—and controls him with the threat of blood magic. He doesn’t get to refuse assignments, even when his new job doesn’t make sense: Infiltrate Prince Julien’s court, protect him until the signal arrives, then kill him. Julien hides his political talent behind his playboy reputation. He trusts nobody besides his brothers, and he certainly doesn’t trust the sad-eyed, beautiful new stranger at court. But Whisper’s vulnerability and kindness draw Julien in anyway—especially when Whisper saves Julien’s life. Then Julien rescues Whisper too, and Whisper’s reserve shatters. Beneath Julien’s carefree facade is a warmth Whisper can’t resist. Whisper’s never been comforted before. He’s never been cared for like this. Julien’s protective touch is the solace Whisper desperately needs—but falling in love could ruin them both. Because Whisper’s mission hasn’t changed, and the price for failure is worse than death. Prince and Assassin is a high fantasy gay romance, with secret identities, hurt/comfort, and magic tigers with attitude. The Perilous Courts series is best read in order, but each book follows a different prince and his Happily Ever After. Read more
