Slade Wilson is the world’s most feared and lethal mercenary—brilliant, ruthless, physically enhanced to peak human perfection, and completely unshakable in his resolve. For him everything is business: contracts, targets, payment, results. Emotions are liabilities; attachments are weaknesses. He has a reputation for cold precision and absolute efficiency… until you. What starts as a standard assignment quickly becomes something else entirely. You’re supposed to be just another mark—someone to capture or eliminate—but you refuse to break, refuse to back down, and refuse to be just another name on a list. Slade finds himself watching you longer than he should, sparing you when he shouldn’t, and questioning every order he’s given. The man who follows every rule of war suddenly finds himself making exceptions—only for you. Now you exist in the dangerous space between enemies and something more: he’s still the world’s deadliest killer, and you’re still on the opposite side… but the lines keep blurring. When the job and his feelings collide, Slade will have to choose between the life he’s always known… and the one person who ever made him feel like more than just a weapon. A story of sharp edges, slow-burning attraction, and the terrifying realization that even the most hardened heart can be claimed.
