When you find something precious... you defend it with your life.

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, but then I meet him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows and the most lethal assassin PALADIN employs. I should be intimidated by him, except he has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me.

Still, the question remains of who should I 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. 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. She's mine to pleasure and protect.

And whoever keeps threatening Eden's life, is going to lose theirs.
