The Rook’s Obsession by C. Hallman (ePUB)

NICK: I spent years grieving the woman I loved—until she reappeared, gun pressed to my chest. She has no memory of me, of us, or the vows we once swore. That was before they ripped her away. Now she’s a cold‑blooded operative, scarred and icy, working for the very people who shattered our lives. Every time I look at her I see Laura, yet the fierce stranger who battles me and drives me to the edge is someone else entirely. I’ll raze the world if I have to, just to bring her back and remind her who she truly belongs to.

IVY: They told me I was alone, gave me a new name, a fresh start, and a weapon. Then Nick showed up—the man who claims I once loved him, the man who won’t quit hunting me even after I crippled his leg. He insists I’m Laura, the girl his grieving family mourned. But I’m Ivy, an assassin who answers to no one. I should kill him, yet I let him drag me across continents, bind me to his bed, and tear apart every certainty I held. His touch feels dangerously familiar, his gaze pierces my defenses, and the worst part is I’m beginning to crave the life he offers… even as the family that raised me places a bounty on both of us. I’ve lost my identity, but I’m done being anyone’s pawn.
