“Value the people who sacrifice their something for you ... because maybe that something was their everything.”
- Unknown
The brief was simple—infiltrate our rival’s crew and steal the info we needed. Easy, right? I thought so, too, until I met Ryan. A woman with the ability to change my view on everything: who I was, who I am now, and what I want to be remembered for when the reaper comes to collect.
I’m a killer, a scapegoat for hire—the man who’ll take the fall for your immoral operation if you offer me the right price. I’ve made enemies along the way, and I’m forever watching my back. In a world as corrupt as mine, love and relationships remain an unobtainable target. So I act the fool, parade as the playboy, but all I really want is to belong to somebody.
She made me think it could be her, that a woman so haunted by her past might actually need a man like me—somebody who can kill with his bare hands, a man who would sacrifice it all to see those he loved kept safe.
That was, until she turned the table and risked it all to help me.

It’s not quite the mafia genre, not quite the MC genre or even the dark genre, it simply felt like a
mixture of all three with an added touch of the unexpected. A contract killer available for hire
who doesn’t think twice about his contract, just as long as the money is in his account before the
due date, and a woman who has the ability to see the good in people, even when they believe
they have the darkest of souls. Novels of these kinds have always fascinated me, there is
always something happening – action, suspense and a romance you’d expect with twists you
wouldn’t have seen coming. I wish I would have had the opportunity to read the other 4 novels
of the series since I’m convinced the reading pleasure would have been greatly improved, or at
the very least, I would have had a chance to meet many of the characters and create a sort of
bond with them. That being said, I still enjoyed the novel and the way Max Henry weaves a
story is quite entertaining and captivating – I’d recommend it, but to fully enjoy the experience
from beginning to end, I would urge readers to read the entire series.
