They call me a soldier of fortune, a hired gun, a man with no morals only looking to get paid—a mercenary. That’s true… mostly. From where I stand, I don’t see it as a bad thing. Getting paid to do the dirty work, to take the jobs saner people refuse is my bread and butter. I love the danger, the thrill, the warmth that attempts to spark something in my cold, black heart. Why shouldn’t I get paid for that? Does it really matter if I’m indifferent about who I step on to succeed? The job always gets done, and I never look back. The same went for Lauren Vos, an undercover FBI agent working in some of the most dangerous trafficking circles known to man. Our paths crossed on a job years ago, and somehow fate has thrown us together once again. Only this time around she isn’t interested in letting me forget. The problem for her is that I’m not the same man she thought she left for dead.
