Toughest Deal: Mercenaries and Magic (Book 3)

By Alessa Thorn

One hour to seal their fate. One touch to ignite their obsession. One deal to destroy them both.

For over a century, Altun Baruk has ruled Istanbul's underworld with cold precision. The feared occult sorceress trusts no one-especially not arrogant, dangerous men like Julian Burbank.

Julian "The Butcher" Burbank collects rare treasures and broken souls with equal enthusiasm. When he discovers a mystical artifact connected to Altun's vengeful past, he makes her an offer she can't refuse.

One hour. Anything goes.

What starts as a simple transaction ignites into something neither can control. But when Altun's murderous sister returns from the dead, their passionate entanglement becomes a deadly game of survival.

With the ghosts of the past finally coming for her, Altun must choose: cling to her solitary power or trust Julian with her darkest secrets. But the price of surrender might be steeper than either can pay, and where every deal comes with blood-soaked consequences, falling in love might be the toughest deal of all.

Please note this is a dark romance series with an occult magic twist, so be prepared for morally gray characters, graphic violence, swearing, and spicy scenes.
