Every killer claims a soul. Every phantom wants revenge. All contract killer Lachlan Kane
wants is a quiet life. But when he botches a job for his boss's biggest client Lachlan knows
he'll never claw his way out of the underworld. At least not until Lark Montague offers him a
deal: use his skills to hunt down a killer and she'll find a way to secure his freedom. The
catch? He has to marry her first. And they can't stand each other. Indie singer-songwriter
Lark may seem like sunshine and glitter personified but she has her own secrets hiding in the
shadows. With her formidable family in a tailspin and her best friend's happiness on the line
she's willing to make a vow to the man she's determined to hate no matter how tempting the
broody assassin might be. As Lachlan and Lark navigate the dark world that binds them together
it becomes impossible to discern their fake marriage from a real one. But it's not just
familiar dangers that haunt them. There's another phantom lurking on their doorstep . . . And
this one has come for blood.
