The rain-slicked stones were treacherous beneath her boots. She had crossed worse rooftops. She had never had this much to lose.

Mira Ashford has spent seven years working for the crown's shadow network ? slipping through locked doors, stealing secrets, and vanishing before anyone knew she was there. She is the best. She has never been caught.

Until Commander Aldric Cayne.

The King's Commander does not make mistakes. He does not leave loose threads. When he catches the woman who has been three steps ahead of his network for years, he expects a spy. He finds something far more complicated.

She should be in a cell. He should have turned her in the moment he caught her. Instead, he gives her one chance to prove she is worth more alive than imprisoned ? and a mission that will take them both somewhere neither of them planned to go.

One step ahead. It used to be enough.

The Spy and the King's Commander is a slow-burn fantasy romance featuring a master spy, a relentless commander, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a love story built between loyalty, secrets, and the dangerous space between them.
