She was his best kept secret, his most treasured possession, an African-American beauty who won his heart from the very beginning. But keeping what he did for a living a secret from her and trying to keep her a secret from his enemies was proving to be the hardest job he'd ever had as an assassin.

Dakota finds Hannah on one of his missions and sees the way she fights off her attacker even though there's no hope of her winning. Still her spirit impresses him and her suffering touches his heart. He takes her under his protection and what starts off as admiration and respect develops into something much deeper and dangerous for the assassin and forces him to experience new intense emotions he struggles with. Dakota scares Hannah and turns her on at the same time. He's dangerous, probably the most dangerous of all the assassins next to Ebony and Silas and she's falling for him fast and hard, even when she thinks he could never truly love her. She's damaged and doubts she can get better and Dakota is an assassin whose calm, cool, demeanor comes unravel whenever she's in his presence. Perhaps the extremely protective, extremely possessive assassin is exactly what she needs to heal or perhaps he's holding her back. From the novel "His Best Kept Secret" comes the second sequel of the assassins starting with our favorite Native American, Dakota, finding true love.

Follow me for more information. Abigail Jenkins is a young African woman from Missouri in the early 1890's. She's caught wind of the Oklahoma Land Rush and now she's set her mind on getting a chunk of land for herself. She's tired of the high minded white people from her old town and she wants to take charge of her own life. She is well aware of all the risks she may face by going alone into unknown territory, but she's willing to take that chance to have a new start on life. Derek Greyson, on the other hand, is a man simply wanting a change in scenery. After his parents died, he'd been taking care of his little sister. But now that she's married, he's turned his attention away from his home in Texas, and to the Land Rush in Oklahoma. He finds himself in the dust ridden land with thousands of others, greedy for a piece of the land. What he didn't expect, however, was to meet a lively little African woman with a sharp tongue, deep chocolate eyes and a mountain load of prejudices against white men due to the murder of her little sister. What will he do when he finds himself falling for her, along with all of her emotional demons? And for Abigail, what will she do when the stranger with icy blue eyes and a charming smile decides to break all social norms just to be with her?
