    Summary

    Iso is living a lie. Posing as his uncle’s loyal man, he walks a knife’s edge to uncover the truth behind a gun meant to frame Adil for murder, knowing that one wrong step could cost him his life.

    Fadime is living a different kind of sentence. Forced into marriage under threat of death, she weds the very man tied to the danger haunting her family. Only she and Iso know the truth behind their union. To everyone else, they are a devoted couple. In private, they are strangers bound by fear, resentment, and unfinished wounds.

    She is brash, sharp-edged, and fearless, more at ease with a gun in her hand than trust in her heart. He is quiet, calculating, and burdened by guilt, carrying the weight of a past moment when he hurt her and has never forgiven himself. Iso only reaches for a weapon to protect Fadime; Fadime carries hers because the world has never protected her.

    As lies tighten and threats close in, their fragile alliance is tested by betrayal, violence and the slow, dangerous act of learning to trust. What begins as a performance, love worn like armor, becomes something far more terrifying and tender.

    Because the most dangerous lie they tell may be the one they start believing.

    Summary

    Between the two golden heads, appeared a dark haired figure, diminutive beside the two Firtina boys. Oruc Firtina bent down with an irrepressible grin, had one ear pinched between a pale hand.

    Ah. Havva stifled a laugh.

    Well she had wondered where the last of the trio had gone. Like two gold chicks, those two always seemed to follow behind Esme Firtina, rifle slung across her back and muddy boots striding across the fields.

    Summary

    Fadime turns to Iso, still typing on his phone, and lets out a hum.

    The sound brings his golden head up sharply, blue eyes locking with hers. The worry and panic in them forms a small lump in Fadime’s throat before she clears it.

    “Iso Firtina. Did you just try to protect me from your Amca?”
