Tropes: slowburn, forcedproximity, forbiddenlove

Bexley and Rosalie were never meant to kneel—they were forged to kill. Once prisoners. Now assassins. The two women have carved their freedom from the throats of the men who tried to own them. Ruthless, feared, and bound by bloodshed, they survive by trusting no one but steel and each other. They are given an impossible mission: steal two ancient relics from the Dark Fae Kingdom before the Dark Lord claims one and unleashes hell upon the realm. But in the lands of the Dark Fae, nothing comes without a price. Every bargain tastes of temptation. Every shadow hides a blade. And the deeper Bexley is pulled into the deadly court of monsters and magic, the more she begins to unravel a prophecy tied to her blood—a prophecy that names her as either the realm’s salvation… or its ruin. As loyalties fracture and desire turns lethal, Bexley must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Because some flames are meant to consume worlds. And others were born to burn within them.
