The Adder and the Ally (Monstrous Cravings series, book 3)

Aladdin’s drawn the eye of a dangerous man, right as he’s playing a dangerous game, but their illicit entanglement could bring down an entire city…

Aladdin has been given a final assignment from the Revelator, his ticket to freedom: murder the Consul.

The Consul is the sort of fiend Aladdin would kill for free—one he’d suffered under personally—and he masquerades as an intern to infiltrate Peregrine City’s government. Everyone falls for his act…except Jaffar, the advisor of the Consul and the exact person whose attention he shouldn’t attract.

Except in trying to get close to the Consul’s daughter, he ends up around Jaffar constantly, a man who infuriates him and allures him in the same breath. There’s no getting close to his enemy’s closest ally, not without risking his own life in the process, and he’s fought his way out of the Trenches to never return. Yet fail this assignment, and that’s the kindest fate that awaits him.

All those sparks between him and Jaffar are going to result in a collision, but whether of passion or ruin, only time will tell…
