A protection detail brought me to small town Lucy Falls. A murder-for-hire contract keeps me here.
I've been alone for a long time, and as an enforcer for the East Coast Irish, I'm okay with that-right up until the day I meet Emery "Cotton" Bishop. Emery is a girl with secrets in her eyes, and attraction sparks between us from the start.
It's nothing I anticipated. It's nothing I wanted. And it's complicated by an unexpected new kill order from my boss-for Emery herself.
Why would anyone want to assassinate this woman with shadows in her eyes? Why is she so afraid? All I know is that there's no way I can kill her without learning the truth. Not while everything in me yearns to protect her, instead.
When a second assassin is dispatched to do the job I'm struggling with, I do the only thing I can think of... I kidnap her.
For a while, a remote cabin in the wilderness offers refuge-even if it's at the expense of both of our hearts. What will happen, though, when my kill order catches up with us, and there's nowhere left to run?
