Deceit requires punishment.

But what happens when the mark is innocent?

Killian “Dagger” Bedivere

My latest assignment has evolved into a game of deciphering whom to trust—the renowned politician who hired the Cavalieri Della Morte, or the runaway bride?

She’s gorgeous, conniving, and everything I crave in a woman.

She’s also my target.

Rule number one: Never fall for the mark.

Rule number two: F*ck rule number one.

Amara “Scarlet” Rose

I never wanted this world, but the decision wasn’t mine to make. I always belonged to him. Now there’s a new player on the board—one hell-bent on destroying all my plans.

He’s lethal, handsome, and everything I should fear.

Rule number one: Don’t trust anyone.

Rule number two: Do everything you can to survive, even if it means breaking rule number one.

And rule number three: When in doubt, kill.

Excerpt

“What time are you delivering me to Malcom?” I asked, applying subtle pressure to his groin. Just enough to tease and to show I knew how to handle him.

“Whenever I want,” he replied, his voice deepening. “Dead or alive.”

“But I’m worth more to you alive.” The words were more for my benefit than for his. It meant he would be hesitant to stab me—at least fatally. Of course, I’d prefer to avoid it altogether.

He smiled. “You were listening. Good girl.”

I’m going to enjoy hurting you, I decided, my mouth curling with the thought. “And what am I supposed to be finding?” I asked, tracing his sizable erection. Hmm, it seemed every part of him was well proportioned and enticing. Too bad he chose the wrong side of this battle. Because I agreed with him—we’d have fun with each other.

“All right, sweetheart. You want to play this game?”

I gave him my best innocent look. “Who says I’m playing?”

“Cute.” He smiled, dipping his chin. “Seduce away, darling. But I won’t be letting you go. I’m married to my job first and foremost. And I never fail a mission.”

My Review

5 Stars

Scarlet Mark by Lexi C. Foss is book 8 in the Cavalieri Della Morte Series. This is the story of Amara 'Scarlet' Rose and Killian 'Dagger' Bedivere. I have yet to read the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book.
Killian is one of the assassins that work at Cavalieri Della Morte but he has been assigned to find a runaway bride who has taken something from the former groom. Trying to find Amara took a little time but when he does find her doubts slowly start setting in about her and his feelings start to grow. Amara has had a very abusive past and has been misused. When she couldn't take it anymore Amara went on the run and hiding out where she thought she would be found. But Killian is the one that does find her and the one that might be able to help her fight for her survival.
This was definitely a page turner for me. I am a fan of Ms. Foss so this was a must read but now that I have been introduced to this series I do want to back track to read the other books.
