Publisher's summary

Christopher Argent lives in the shadows as the empire's most elite assassin. Emotion is something he tossed away years ago, making him one of the most clear-eyed, coldhearted, wealthiest, and therefore untouchable men in London.

But when his latest target turns out to be London's own darling, Millicent LeCour, Christopher's whole world is turned upside down. Overwhelmed by her stunning combination of seduction and innocence, Christopher cannot complete the mission. She has made him feel again. Now he will do anything to save her life, so he can claim her as his own....

When Millie learns what Christopher was hired to do, she is torn between the fear in her heart and the fire in her soul. Putting herself in this notorious hunter's arms may be her only path to safety - even if doing so could be the deadliest mistake she's ever made. But how can she resist him? As the heat between her and Christopher burns out of control, danger lurks in the shadows. Is their desire worth the risk? Only the enemy knows what fate has in store....

Action, romance and mystery all in one

It was a very good read. Liked the hero's character though an unlikely one for a romance book. KB did a fabulous job showing how he became a respectable man and made it very believable. Tough job well done. The villain's character was a bit predictable as to whom it was but don't let that deter you. Still a lovely romance.

Love it.

Loved the hero the dark dangerous type but with sadly believable childhoods. I loved how his character developed and once again love conquers all. I have read the book twice. This series is excellent.

Wonderful!

Went a little slow in places but I came to realize that you really needed all those reflective moments to make the characters believable. The authors writing is simply incredible.

Wounded warrior

This Story has so much to recommend it. Romance suspense murder and a happy ending. It was well worth the credit.

sooo good

I loved this book just as much as the first in the series. the narrator is one of the best I've experienced

This was such a ride

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that I would find an assassin so sexy but Christopher Argent got to me. I liked this story and it was told so well. I felt the coldness from the stony prison Argent grew up in and the hard , sad despair of his heart. Also, I loved how Millie constantly challenged him in heart and mind and Jacob stirred him to kindness. Even tho, for me, I was able to figure out the mystery and wondered why the characters couldn't, it didn't obstruct my pleasure in reading this story. Or rather listening to this story. Derek Perkins has grown on me. At first I didn't care for his female voices, but this is my third book with him narrating and I have to say while I still don't love his female voices so much, he does every thing so well and his Argent interpretation was stunning. I look forward to more collaborations between this author and narrator.

Love it

Great 2nd book in the series. Laugh, cry, suspense. A great ending. Will read the next one.

good

enjoyed the story. very well told. can't wait for the next. hope the series continues.

Excellent read.

K. Byrne is my new favorite author. D. Perkins does a great job narrating, as well. Prepare to fall in love with this love story...

Very troubling savagery

The times and cruelty was difficult to get through but ends with redemption and hope.
