(Alternate cover edition of ASIN B0BBWBKM55.) We are the cast-offs, the forgotten, the broken; we are dark, dangerous men haunted by our violent pasts. The Guardian collects us, rehabilitates us, and gives us a new lease on life…if we follow a few, simple rules: Once you’re in, there’s no going back; never take a life; loyalty to the brotherhood above all. Then, I meet HER. She’s everything I’m not, and she’s determined to save me from my own past, even as I save her from her present.

The Guardian collects us, rehabilitates us, and gives us a new lease on life…if we follow a few, simple rules: Once you’re in, there’s no going back; never take a life; loyalty to the brotherhood above all. My brothers, the other Broken Arrows, Club Sin… that’s my life. And then I meet HER on the side of the road, barefoot, battered, and afraid of her own shadow. Immediately, I have one protect her. That’s all I care about. It’s a tall order, because she’s from a world almost as violent as my own. But somewhere along the way, I realize she’s healing me as much as I am her. If we can survive her enemies and mine, life together could be pretty beautiful. That’s a big if, though…

My mother killed my father in a murder-suicide. The old bastard deserved it, so I’m not exactly mourning his loss. My brothers and I attended the funeral, of course. We were the only three there, and only for our mother. Walking away from that funeral to clear my head, I’m accosted on the sidewalk by a fiery, feisty crimson-haired siren with a foul mouth and a body wars have been fought over. The problem? I have enemies. Bad men who will kill anyone even seen near me, just to spite me. Why? I used to be an assassin for a crime syndicate and refused to kill an innocent woman. They want me dead…and Terra, just for being seen with me. We’re on the run and I have to keep us both alive without breaking my vow, and try to figure out if it’s mere lust pulling me to Terra Connolly, or something deeper that could change both our lives…

It should have been quick—attend the funeral and go back to Club Sin, where I belong. Only, I find myself snatched off the street and taken hostage, transported halfway across the world to the vast, wild jungle of the Brazilian Amazon. It’s not an easy feat, taking a man like me hostage. As a former wetwork operator for the CIA, I’m used to death, pain, and discomfort. It’s all I’ve ever known. I expect to be rescued, of course. By my brothers—both those with whom I share blood and those with whom I share the brand, the Broken Arrows. Except, they’re not the ones who spring me. It’s a ghost from my past, the only woman I’ve ever loved, someone as inured to the world of special operations violence as I am. Scarlett—codename Scarla—is a lot like tough, hardened, shut off and closed up. Scarlett thought I was dead, and I let her think that when I started my new life in Club Sin, but now, with only a hint that I may be alive, Scarlett is on a mission to set me free—and get answers as to my disappearance. Together, Scarlett and I have to evade my captors and survive the brutal jungle…but what we discover along the way is just more unanswered questions, a connection that neither of are prepared for, and an enemy far more dangerous than any of us could have anticipated—an enemy who threatens not just Scarlett and me, but someone all of us Broken Arrows thought was untouchable.
