He was hired to kill me. Now he's my lover.

Violet

We're on the run with danger and death nipping at our heels.

At least I'm not alone now. Xavier is with me, but I don't even know if he'll survive.

Maybe life didn't prepare me to face down a team of contract killers, but I'll fight to keep Xavier alive.

I never meant to fall for the man who set out to kill me. Now that I have, I'll do anything to keep him safe, to give us a chance.

Xavier

Violet is everything to me. I'm not even sure I'll survive this, but I'll do anything to keep her safe.

She's so much more than I ever imagined—fierce, passionate, and strong.

I was hired to kill her, and now I'll face down anyone who tries to harm her.

In spite of it all, she's put her faith in me. It will take everything I have to honor that faith.

I only hope her father pays for his mistakes, and I get the chance to love her the way she deserves.
