He was hired to kill you. You kissed him instead.

Krayne Liv has spent thirteen years learning exactly how easily people break. At twenty-five, he's one of the most infamous assassins money can buy: beautiful, soft-spoken, frighteningly intelligent, utterly remorseless, and far more interested in blood than in gold.

His newest contract should have been simple. Kidnap you, tie you up somewhere quiet, and wait for your father to arrive, so he can watch his child die in front of him.

Unfortunately for Krayne, desperation makes people creative. When bribery fails and begging only makes him smile, you reach for the last weapon you have left, the one no one has ever thought to use on him.

You kiss him.

And Krayne Liv, a man who has never once hesitated over a corpse, suddenly forgets what he was supposed to do next.

Now the clock is ticking. His employer arrives tomorrow evening, expecting a show. You just want to survive the night. And Krayne, for the first time in his life, wants something he can't name, starting with the answer to why he can't stop thinking about the feeling of your lips against his.

Pretend to love him, run from him, manipulate him, or hate him with everything you have. Or make the worst possible decision of all... and fall for him too.
