Kiss of the Vigilante

In a city built on polished lies, the most dangerous thing two people can do is tell the truth.Gideon Vale is Halcyon's Sentinel: a wealthy vigilante with a spotless public image, a ruined private conscience, and a family legacy tied too closely to the institutions he now suspects are rotten.Serena Voss is Vesper, the masked thief powerful men whisper about when their vaults open, their ledgers vanish, and their secrets stop staying buried.When Vesper steals the Mercy Crown from Saint Aurelius during a high-society museum gala, Gideon expects a thief. Instead, he finds a woman chasing proof of a donor-protected network that has been moving vulnerable girls through clinics, foundations, and civic charities for years. Serena's missing sister, Noa, left the first clue. Elias Wexler and his allies will kill to make sure it is the last.Forced into a dangerous alliance, Gideon and Serena follow the evidence from rain-slick alleys to private recovery houses, hidden ledgers, undercity tunnels, and the cathedral where Halcyon first taught itself to worship clean money.But every revelation makes them more exposed. Every rescue makes the city more violent. And every touch between them threatens the control both of them have used to survive.Kiss of the Vigilante is a dark romantic suspense novel about masks, corruption, survivor-centered justice, and two damaged people learning that desire is easier than trust-and trust is the thing that can get them killed.
