He'll do just about anything for the fiery, green-eyed beauty-even betray his father, who has him shackled to the Obsidian Order, a secret society of assassins. So when another member of the Order asks him to watch over Delilah, X is more than ready to honor the request. There's only one thing he can't do: take full possession of the gorgeous, innocent woman who's claimed his heart and soul. At least, not yet ...

Now Delilah must fight her attraction to X if she hopes to find her brother. However, her resistance to the assassin is challenged when the Obsidian Order forces her to be the bride of one of its recruits and X is the only man who can keep her safe. But who will guard her against X and his need to consume her?Vicious Secret is a dark stalker romance with a possessive, morally gray MMC.
