Harlow Carrenwell possesses a lethal gift. Her kiss brings instant death, a weapon she wields for her magical family in Lunameade and secretly uses to eliminate abusive men as a vigilante. She has already killed her first husband and plans the same fate for her new betrothed, Henry Havenwood. But when Harlow kisses Henry, he survives. Worse, he discovers her secret double life. Instead of exposing her treachery, Henry takes her to his remote mountain fortress surrounded by vampire-plagued wilderness. Trapped far from home with a husband immune to her poison, Harlow must uncover Henry's family's schemes while protecting Lunameade. Her survival depends on making the one man who knows she's an assassin fall in love with her. She cannot kill him, cannot escape him, and cannot trust him.
