When
mercenary and space trader Flynn Marks is approached by a woman in a seedy bar,
he assumes she’s not just looking for a good time. He’s made enemies over the
course of his life. With his family finally safe and settled, he’ll handle this
latest threat on his own.
Cerena Phelps has been tasked with killing a man if she ever wants to see her teenage son again. While she’s no stranger to fights—being a woman bouncer is a tough job—she’s never killed a man. Her plan? Lure Flynn away from the bar, seduce him, and kill him when his guard is down. Not a hardship given her unexpected and intense sexual attraction for her target. When her attempt on Flynn’s life fails, they must learn to trust each other if they both hope to survive and rescue her son.
Excerpt:
Cerena
Phelps was making a huge mistake, but it wasn’t like she had a choice. Her
mission was clear. Flynn Marks had to die.
If
he didn’t…
She
didn’t allow herself to contemplate failure. There was too much on the line.
She’d
stalked her quarry to this bar all the while a part of her had hoped he’d jump
right back on his ship and leave Oasis. There was no way her small craft could
catch his deep-space-class trader.
“You
gonna sit or just stand there?”
Flynn
Marks was even more intimidating in person. She hadn’t seen a picture of him,
but she’d been given a very accurate description. Still, it didn’t do him
justice. Tall with one eye and a robotic arm, short black hair with a streak of
white running through it. All accurate, but also misleading.
He
wasn’t just tall. He was huge. She’d glimpsed him earlier, and he had to be at
least six and a half feet of solid muscle. Scars radiated out from behind the
patch on his eye, but they in no way detracted from his rugged good looks. His
hair was buzzed so short it had been difficult to see the white streak in it.
Something
inside her stirred. Something she hadn’t experienced in years—sexual
attraction.
“I’m
sitting.” She pulled the chair around, situating it closer to him. It served
two purposes—to put her closer to the wall and to allow her to sit beside
Flynn.
Taking
a deep breath to calm her nerves and steady her racing heart, she stuck out her
hand. “Cerena Phelps.” She didn’t see any point in lying about her name. After
all, he could easily discover her identity if he was so inclined. This was
likely a suicide mission anyway.
Her
life didn’t matter. Her son’s life was priceless. And that was exactly what the
bastard who’d taken Nix had been counting on.
Flynn’s
hand completely engulfed hers. Heat radiated from him and into her skin. It was
a shock, but a pleasant one. This attraction she had toward her assignment was
both a help and a hindrance. If it got her close to him, all the better, but it
was distracting, too.
She
couldn’t forget for one second that her job was to kill the man currently
touching her.
“Flynn
Marks,” he replied. His voice seemed to reverberate deep inside her, causing
every nerve ending in her body to vibrate.
When
he released her, she wanted to grab his hand and hold on. Instead, she dropped
her hand back to her lap. She had a plan and needed to stick to it. It was
simple really. Get him to take her back to his ship, have sex, and when he was
sated and his guard was down, she’d kill him.
