Book Description:
From the author of the New York Times,
USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling novel, THE EDGE OF NEVER, comes
a story of passion and survival…
Sarai
was only fourteen when her mother uprooted her to live in Mexico with a
notorious drug lord. Over time she forgot what it was like to live a normal
life, but she never let go of her hope to escape the compound where she has
been held for the past nine years.
Victor
is a cold-blooded assassin who, like Sarai, has known only death and violence
since he was a young boy. When Victor arrives at the compound to collect
details and payment for a hit, Sarai sees him as her only opportunity for
escape. But things don’t go as planned and instead of finding transport back to
Tucson, she finds herself free from one dangerous man and caught in the
clutches of another.
While
on the run, Victor strays from his primal nature as he succumbs to his
conscience and resolves to help Sarai. As they grow closer, he finds himself
willing to risk everything to keep her alive; even his relationship with his
devoted brother and liaison, Niklas, who now like everyone else wants Sarai
dead.
As
Victor and Sarai slowly build a trust, the differences between them seem to
lessen, and an unlikely attraction intensifies. But Victor’s brutal skills and experience
may not be enough in the end to save her, as the power she unknowingly holds
over him may ultimately be what gets her killed.
This
is their story…

EXCERPT
I raise the gun a
little higher, settling the barrel at the back of her head, but not touching
it. I don’t want her to be afraid before she dies and although I know she fears
nothing, death is something we all fear in our final moment even if only the
smallest part of us is conscious of it. I don’t want her to fear it at all and
she can’t if she doesn’t know that it’s happening.
“How old were you
when you became what you are?” she asks.
Caught off guard
by the question and maybe more-so by the shifting of the mood, I hesitate
before answering.
“I was nine.”
She sniffles and
wipes her eyes with the hand near her cheek.
“You were very
young,” she goes on. “I guess in a way like me, you never had a chance to live
a life of your choosing. I guess maybe we aren’t really so different from each
other.” She pauses. “Except I might be more like your brother than I care to
admit. He’s as angry as I am.”
I release my
finger from the trigger and slowly, so she doesn’t know, move the barrel away
from the back of her head.
“It must’ve been
hard growing up with Niklas,” she says.
I set the gun
back on the bed next to me and before I know what I’m doing I’m cradling the
back of her head in my hand again.
