Beauty and the Assassin by Nadia Lee

Angelika:
A sociopath has stalked me mercilessly for eight years. It’s only a matter of time before he kills me. But then I meet Tolyan.
He bursts into my life like a god of vengeance, seething with raw power and danger, trained to protect—or kill. He has a scowl for the world, but for some reason, he’s gentle with me and the idea of deadly power leashed only for me makes my heart flutter.
One night, he kills a man and I realize he’s the answer I’ve been searching for…if I can convince him to help.

Tolyan:
Ten years ago, a man murdered the mother of my child. Now it’s time for him to pay. And I’ve finally found what he wants—Angelika.
Those wide innocent eyes and a smart mouth that makes me laugh are things I love about her. But she’s going to be my perfect bait, willing and obedient. All I have to do is guard against falling for her…
