I was sent to end his life. Now love has me risking mine.
SYLVIE
I’ve been a ghost since I was sixteen. Attachments are a luxury I can’t afford. Sympathy is a weakness I’ve been trained to ignore.
My assignment should be simple. Infiltrate Jeffrey Callen’s life, drain him of his secrets, then make him disappear. I’m used to cashing paychecks written in evil men’s blood. But no one prepared me for the way Callen would slip past my defenses, planting something dangerous and alive inside my heart that no blade can reach. Hope. Everything I’ve been told about my target is a lie. He’s no villain. The only thing he’s guilty of is his own humanity.
Sensing my hesitation, my employers have made it clear: finish the mission, or I’m the one who vanishes. The choice becomes abundantly clear. It’s my survival…or his.
CALLEN
I was a soldier who believed in the mission. In honor. In the system I swore to protect. Turns out, the system is corrupt.
After saving the innocent lives I was ordered to take, I became a loose end. Fifteen years later, my comrades are mysteriously dropping one by one, and all signs say I’m next. Not even PALADIN can protect me now.
At least there’s Sylvie. Sharp tongue, dangerous curves, and eyes that look right through me…like she’s searching for something she’ll never admit she wants. I know she has secrets. Lethal ones. Her story doesn’t add up. But when I see the torment in her eyes, I don’t care about the math. I’d lay my life on the line for her. But the deeper I get, I have to wonder—am I the one who’s really in danger?

Eden:
Where I come from, there’s no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed, with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins.
After moving clear across the country, I thought I’d feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valor, but then I meet him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is.
I should probably be intimidated by the most lethal assassin PALADIN employs, except the monster has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me. Still, the question remains of who I should fear more…
The ones who are after me or the ones who promised to protect me.
Linc:
I love the way she screams my name, but I like how she whispers it too.
I vowed to never get attached, but Eden has a hold on me that no one has before. She’s the light and until her, I didn’t realize how lonely the darkness is.
Forget PALADIN’s rules. I refuse to let her go. I’ve finally found what’s precious to me and now I have to keep her close, defend her fiercely. She’s mine to pleasure and protect.
And whoever keeps threatening Eden’s life, is going to lose theirs.

From the BookTok bestselling author of Camera Shy comes a darkly addictive series that blends danger, devotion, and desire.
I protect the family…at all costs.
VESPER
They took everything from me before I was old enough to know what I lost.
My name. My family. My humanity. By sixteen, I was already a weapon: a spy and a killer—hollow, precise, and untouchable. Then, the FBI put a gun to my head and called it an opportunity.
I’ve spent my whole life being someone’s dark secret.
Until Sterling. The only man who ever looked at me like I was someone worth saving. I only left to protect him, because loving me is the most dangerous thing a person can do.
But after all these years, he’s back. And God help me, so is everything I buried.
Yet, how can I think of a future with the man I still love when PALADIN is bleeding? I don’t know who is hunting us. My family—my team—are disappearing one by one, like candles going out in a dark room.
I have no leads until a ghost from my past surfaces. He knows my wounds. He speaks my language. He says he can help me find them.
Sterling begs me not to trust him. But I’m not sure I trust anyone anymore. Including myself.
Grief makes you blind. Love makes you slower. And someone is counting on both.
Somewhere between the man who taught me how to love and the man who understands what I am, I have to make an impossible choice.
Before this ends, I will find my family. I will protect what’s mine.
Even if it costs my life.
