The Kiss of Death

Iris Arora has been on the run for nearly two years.

In the first year, she’d concluded a mission against an underworld criminal syndicate, sending their leader and his right hand man to prison for good. Or so she thought.

In the second year, she’d been labelled a corrupt detective, forced to leave her job and go under the radar, to escape false charges and fearing retaliation from the organisation she believed she’d destroyed, after their leader was freed with little time served.

But unfortunately for Iris, her luck had ended the day she’d presumed herself to be at the height of her career. Because she’s been found. Not by anyone of the law, but Adrian Sokolov. And his brother, Ronan Petrov, her former detective partner, who’d been a lie from the beginning.

And to top it all off, Iris is now their captive.

In mind, body, and spirit, or so they say.

Before they ultimately kill her for her betrayal.

But Iris has always been a fighter.

Runner for sure, but a fighter most definitely.

And she promises to not go down easy.

But with the world against her and the brothers monitoring her every move during the day while stealing her heart in the dark, will she be able to escape her untimely fate? Or will her life be lost to the savage needs of those who want to capture her soul?

Find out in the ’The Kiss of Death’, a dark romance novel.
