Nova Brennigan lives for vengeance. As a mercenary, she's made peace with death. But nothing could prepare her for falling in love with the enemy.

Nova's mission is simple. Avenge her brother's death while honoring a promise to a friend. It's a suicide mission. She's accepted that fate. But when her path collides with Tobias Shaw, the new leader of the Gutters after the brutal murder of Captain Feral Vergan—everything she thought she knew shifts on its axis.

Tobias never asked for power, but loss forced him into leadership. He shoulders the weight of his crew's loyalty and vengeance. He never expected to feel anything for Nova, the ruthless killer who ended his captain's life. Yet something in her—scarred by loss, sharpened by betrayal—draws him in. Emotions unfamiliar and dangerous begin to bloom.

Caught in the crossfire of betrayal, murder, and raw desire, Nova and Tobias must acknowledge an inevitable truth—the most dangerous thing of all is love between enemies. Loyalties are tested. Alliances threatened. And sacrifices must be made.

Can Nova and Tobias find common ground without losing themselves—or everyone they hold dear? Or will love become a weapon that destroys them both in a world already steeped in blades and blood?
