I Was The Perfect Assassin, Until He Made Me Love Him synopsis
I was never meant to survive.
I loved him. I bled for him. And now, I’m dying by his hand.
“Forgive me,” Damian whispers, his lips brushing mine—before the dagger sinks deep.
The truth was never what it seemed. And neither was he.
Selene Knight is an assassin hired to kill Ivy Monroe—the woman about to marry Damian Calloway, the only man Selene has ever loved. But when another assassin strikes first, the wedding erupts into chaos, and Selene is exposed. Captured by Damian, she quickly realizes that the wedding was never just about love; it was a carefully orchestrated power move tied to a deadly supernatural curse. Selene and Ivy bear identical marks, proof that one of them must die for the other to live. As Selene fights to uncover the truth, she learns that Damian has known all along—about the curse, about her fate, and about the plan to use her blood in a ritual that will seal Ivy’s power.

Selene’s POV
“I love you,” I whisper, as I watch the love of my life walk down the aisle towards another woman.
The words leave my lips like a secret, a confession meant for no one but myself. My hands tremble slightly as I tighten my grip on the gun, hidden beneath the long folds of my dark cloak. The cold metal feels heavy against my palm, like the weight of the choice I am about to make.
The grand church is filled with people, the filled with the scent of roses and candle wax. Golden chandeliers hang from the high ceiling, casting a warm glow over the guests dressed in their finest clothes. The sound of the organ plays softly in the background, a melody meant for love and celebration.
But I am not here to celebrate.
I am here to kill Ivy Monroe.
The bride.
The woman Damian Calloway is about to marry.
Damian Calloway. The most powerful Alpha in the city. He stands tall at the altar, dressed in an expensive black suit, his shoulders broad and tense. His dark hair is perfectly styled, not a single strand out of place. He looks like a man in control, a man with no doubts. But I know him better than anyone.
I see it.
The tightness in his jaw. The slight clench of his fingers. The way his piercing blue eyes stay locked on Ivy as she walks toward him, but his mind is somewhere else.
With me.
I swallow hard, trying to push away the ache in my chest. This is not the time to feel. Not the time to remember the nights we spent tangled in each other’s arms, whispering promises we were never meant to keep.
Damian Calloway was mine once.
