The Marked Rule

Some names are hidden.

One was never supposed to be found.

Forensic bookkeeper Isla Wilde has built her career following money where no one else knows to look. When a routine estate valuation uncovers a labyrinth of shell companies spanning the globe, she discovers something impossible: every thread leads to a man who officially doesn't exist.

Ambrose Fane.

Within hours, Isla realizes she hasn't uncovered a financial empire.

She's uncovered the secret that protects it.

Somewhere inside an ancient organization of judges, billionaires, politicians, and power brokers, a vote is taken. By dawn, her fate is sealed.

She is Marked.

But the man sent to eliminate her does something no one has ever seen before.

He refuses.

Roth has spent twenty years serving the order as its most feared enforcer. He has never questioned an assignment. Never failed. Never spared a target.

Until Isla.

Now the hunter has become her only protector, hiding her in the one place no one would ever think to look-the heart of the organization that condemned her to die.

Surrounded by enemies, bound together by necessity, and hunted by an order that controls fortunes, governments, and lives from the shadows, Isla and Roth must uncover why her discovery threatens centuries of carefully guarded secrets before the people who created them erase them both.

But in a world where trust is the deadliest risk of all, falling for the wrong person may prove even more dangerous than uncovering the truth.

The Marked Rule is a gripping secret society dark romance filled with slow-burn tension, morally gray characters, dangerous conspiracies, impossible choices, and a love story forged in the shadow of absolute power.

Perfect for readers who love intelligent dark romance with cinematic suspense, unforgettable villains, and heroes who would burn the world before letting her fall.
