Bargaining with the Devil
Reluctant desire smolders between an assassin and the woman he’s meant to protect.
Release Date – 9th October 2026
Ciarán Quinn, bastard-born Irish spy and assassin, has been dispatched to Scotland to investigate dangerous smugglers. Quinn’s instructions are clear: eliminate their leader by any means necessary while safeguarding an innocent woman from harm. Falling for the prickly, wounded lass he liberated from a living hell two years prior is the last thing he expects—or wants.
Haunted by foolish choices, Lucy Muir leads a reclusive existence along the rugged Solway Coast, closer every day to giving in to her demons. She neither wants nor needs interference in her life—particularly not from a devilishly compelling man who challenges her and resurrects difficult memories.
Undeniable attraction ignites into irresistible passion, but as Lucy drops her guard and lets Quinn in, her jagged edges reopen his deepest wounds. Quinn and Lucy must confront pasts that won’t die because with danger looming in every direction, the greatest risk of all is love.
Set in 1819, Bargaining with the Devil is the second book in Lea Hollis’s spicy Sirens & Spies series.
