His Lair by Kylie Kent

Lailani
Out of all the jobs I’ve had over the years, this has to be the most mundane.
It requires me to be someone completely different. A meek, quiet girl working to put herself through college. I really do deserve an Oscar.
It’s easy money, though. And honestly, it almost feels like a vacation compared to the assignments I’m used to taking on.
I’ve even managed to score myself a quick fling with a hot-as-sin bad boy. The problem is, he’s fallen for the act and has no idea who I really am.
Until my cover is blown, and I have no choice but to do the job I’ve been paid to do…
It shouldn’t matter. It’s just a fling, right? At least that’s what I’m telling myself when I see the disappointment in his eyes and not the lust I’m used to finding there.

I’m good at reading people. It’s a big part of why I’m as successful as I am.
Nobody gets past me. No one.
Until her.
My gut told me from the start that something was different about her. I put it down to lust. To wanting something I shouldn’t.
A younger woman, with little experience and a whole lot of innocence. A woman who belongs nowhere near a man like me.
I took her anyway. I shielded her from the darkness in our world as best I could.
Little did I know, I didn’t need to shield her from anything. Because , as it turns out, she is the darkness in our world.
