In a game of kill or be killed, a reformed assassin is at a serious disadvantage.
"A delicious cocktail of death and charm!" -- Amazon reviewer
Rana Maathornefurer is the last assassin of the gods—scratch that—former assassin. But keeping her sapphire blade at her side is harder than it looks when she is forced to join with persnickety and rude Lord Sheffield in a business deal they both desperately need to work.
Add in an assassin who is hot on Phillip's trail—though she can't for the life of her figure out why—and Rana finds herself in a comically ridiculous dance to keep him alive while wanting to kill him—at least until she no longer needs him.
When sneaking feelings that could get her killed catch her off-guard, however, she realizes the charade can't last. With everything she cares about falling into deadly chaos, Rana must decide what is most important:
Will she be the person Lord Sheffield wishes her to be and risk him dying? Or will she become the killer she's always been to save his life?

Book 3 of the saucy spy and assassin Rogue Royals Series, The Earl's Assassin is a standalone novel within the series made all the more fun with past character cameos from books 1 and 2. It's a wildly fun steampunk tale in an alternate-history Victorian England where the rules are often disregarded—much to Phillip's chagrin.
