castaway novel

Premise A girl raised as an elite assassin escapes her brutal upbringing, yearning to live a normal life. Psychopathic in nature, she doesn't understand love the way others do-but when she meets a kind-hearted college boy, she feels something unfamiliar and decides to change. She shadows him, protects him from the shadows, and fakes being a regular student. What she doesn't know is that the boy is secretly the long-lost son of a dying crime lord. Though he's innocent on the surface, he's unknowingly the heir to a throne others are killing to claim. Assassins begin hunting him, and she does everything she can to protect him without revealing her past. But there's another secret: the boy is secretly a masked vigilante fighting crime at night, trying to end the kind of violence that shaped her. Neither of them realizes just how tangled their lives are, or how similar they really are beneath the lies.
