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.
