Description

The moment Delilah pulls a knife on Xavier Donovan, she makes one very dangerous mistake:

She gets his attention.

Xavier “X” Donovan is an assassin bound to the mysterious Obsidian Order, a secret society controlled by powerful and dangerous men—including his own father. He's possessive, morally gray, and accustomed to violence, but something about Delilah immediately becomes an obsession he can't shake.

When X is asked to secretly watch over her, he's more than willing.

Watching quickly turns into stalking, and protecting her turns into wanting her completely.

Meanwhile, Delilah is worried about Ben, her foster brother and only true family. His increasingly rare messages suddenly stop altogether, leaving her convinced something terrible has happened. Desperate for answers, she reluctantly turns to the one man dangerous enough to help her: X.

But her search for Ben leads straight toward the Obsidian Order.

When the secret society attempts to force Delilah into becoming the bride of one of its recruits, X becomes the only person standing between her and the Order. Protecting her may mean betraying his father, breaking his allegiance, and turning against the deadly organization that made him who he is.

Because X may belong to the Obsidian Order—but Delilah is the one thing he's willing to burn it down for.

Dark, obsessive, and dangerously possessive, Vicious Secret combines a stalker romance with assassins, secret societies, forced marriage, and a morally gray hero whose need to protect Delilah is just as intense as his need to make her his.
