She’s an assassin trying to deceive him.

On the outside, she doesn’t seem like much, but in reality, she’s the deadly Assassin known as “Stallion”, trying to hide her organization from the world. But when a techie security CEO gets too close to her partner’s identity, she has to go undercover as Evelyn Ross to divert him...Or kill him.

Between juggling her new alias and keeping her past from overwhelming her when her old flame’s brother comes seemingly back from the grave for revenge, how will she keep her walls from crumbling against the only mark who’s gotten to know the real her?

He’s bent on finding the truth.

The head of Bayard Tech and Security, Marcus Bayard has always played by the rules to get what he wants and fought for the truth. With threats circling his largest client, he brings on new help, but when his newest partner is lying to him about who she is, he suddenly can’t resist trying to decode her beautiful contradictions.

How long can he keep himself from her once he learns he’s willing to do anything to set her free from her past… even if he has to compromise his morals to do it?
