She came to Russia to become a champion. He was never supposed to become more than her coach. Somewhere between early mornings and endless routines, the line between ambition and emotion starts to blur.
They were never supposed to mean anything to each other. Just late nights, quiet exits, and an unspoken agreement to keep it casual. But somewhere between “this means nothing” and staying a little too long, things start to change. He notices more. She feels more. Neither of them says a word. Because the second they admit it… they risk losing everything they never meant to have.
Vincent Monroe is the menace of the university—always in fights, always at parties, and never interested in anyone long enough to care. When you transfer halfway through the semester, the last thing you expect is to be assigned a roommate… especially one like him. But being forced to live together means constant tension, late-night arguments, and learning things about each other neither of you planned to share. Maybe the rumors about Vincent Monroe aren’t the whole story.
Two elite assassins are assigned the same target—each other. Trained to never miss and never hesitate, their deadly game turns into a series of near encounters across the world. But with every confrontation, something unexpected grows between them. As the line between enemy and something more begins to blur, they’re forced to question everything they’ve been taught—because the only thing more dangerous than their mission… might be each other.
To everyone else, it’s obvious—they can’t stand each other. The silence, the sharp words, the way the air shifts when they’re in the same room. But beneath it, there’s something neither of them will name. Something deeper than hate—and far harder to ignore.
They were both assassins. But at home, they were just two people in love. Three years, no questions asked— until one assignment threatens to tear everything apart.
