I was hired to kill her. Then I saw her face. And I knew I never would.
I'm an ex-Marine. Now I'm something worse.
I take the jobs no one else wants, I don't ask questions, and I don't let anything get under my skin.
That's how men like me stay alive.
Then I corner her in a dark alley.
She fights like something feral and beautiful.
Precise. Lethal. Completely unafraid of me.
When her helmet comes off and I see those dark eyes, I'm done.
I let her escape. I tell myself it's a mistake I'll fix tomorrow.
It isn't.
She shows up at my door instead.
Tells me the man who hired me is coming for us both. We need each other.
She's right. I hate that she's right.
We're rivals.
She works for a competing organization, and I was literally paid to put a bullet in her head.
Teaming up is insane. Wanting her is worse.
But I can't stop.
I watch her sleep in my bed. I patch up her wounds with hands I can't keep steady. I get hard watching her take down men twice her size without breaking a sweat.
I tell myself it's just survival. Temporary.
Then she almost bleeds out in front of me, and something in me breaks open for good.
She's not just the woman I was sent to kill.
She's the only person alive who's reminded me what it feels like to give a damn.
She gave me a reason to care. And now the man hunting her is closing in.
He has resources. An army. No conscience.
I have one thing he doesn't.
She's mine now.
And anyone who tries to take her from me won't live long enough to regret it.
