THE PRICE OF SILENCE

Some secrets are worth killing to keep. Some are worth loving someone enough to finally tell.

Isolde Rook has served the Ironbound Court for three centuries, and she has never once let an asset become anything more than useful — until she catches a rebel courier smuggling coded letters through her own tunnels, and finds a man who negotiates rather than begs, who reads her silences instead of fearing them, and who makes her want, for the first time in longer than she can measure, to be known rather than merely feared.

Kieran Vane has spent two years keeping his network alive by trusting no one at court. He didn't plan on trusting its spymaster least of all — and he certainly didn't plan on falling for her.

But a councilwoman with old ambitions and a forged accusation is watching them both, and she intends to prove that a spymaster in love is a spymaster who can no longer be trusted with the city's secrets. Isolde and Kieran will have to decide what they're willing to risk — his network, her title, both their lives — to keep the one secret that finally feels worth protecting.

The Price of Silence is Book Two in the Ironbound Court series — a high-heat, standalone romantasy of secret identity, forced alliance, and a three-hundred-year-old spymaster who has finally met the one thing she can't calculate her way out of wanting. Contains explicit content intended for adult readers.
