Alley Cat by Scottlyn Rae

In Ashkara power is bought in blood, loyalty is enforced in silence and monsters wear very expensive suits.

Hazel has spent years hiding from the life that made her lethal. Once a government assassin trained to erase magic from the world, she vanished rather than become the kind of monster they demand. Now she dances under neon lights, keeps her head down, and trusts one rule: never be seen.

When Lux Dravik returns to reclaim his father’s criminal empire, he finds a city rotting under government control, magic hunted into extinction and a dancer who doesn’t move like prey.

As secrets surface and bodies fall, Hazel is forced to confront the past she buried and the truth about the man who’s hunting for answers in the same shadows she’s hiding in, yet neither of them realize:

Some monsters are made, others are born, and some were never meant to survive each other.
