Fearless.
Ruthless.
Reckless.
Armando Aretas is in hiding after a high body count forced him to flee the country. The former assassin and drug dealer now lives a quiet life with his head down, minding his business working as a buss boy. But when his beautiful, too innocent coworker is in danger one night, he abandons his rule of staying out of it to help her.
Sweet.
Kind.
Innocent.
Brielle "Bri" Palmer lives a simple life and she likes it that way. When she's not serving hungry customers at the diner on the weekend, she's teaching her kindergarten class as she she works towards her masters.
Her mom thinks she should've accepted the engagement she rejected.
Her father thinks she should come work for the family business.
Her friends think she should do as her parents says and go back to her lavish lifestyle.
Brielle thinks everyone should stop trying to tell her what the fuck she should do with her life.
The only person who doesn't seem to care about her is her sexy and a maybe even a little intimidating co-worker at the diner.
At least that's what she thought until the night he saves her and Brielle learns that there is something dark and mysterious behind the quiet mask he's shown her and for better or worse, Brielle wants to peel back every layer and find out exactly who the real Armando is.
What happened next neither of them saw coming.
Light. Laughter. Passion. Love.
But what happens when Armando's past comes back to haunt him?
