Elias Cruz doesn't break contracts.
For years, he's been one of the most reliable killers in the business, cold, precise, and impossible to intimidate. A contract is a contract, and five million dollars is more than enough reason to pull the trigger.
His latest target is Phoenix.
Gang leader. Loan shark. Professional criminal.
And, unfortunately for Elias, someone he's already worked beside.
Phoenix knows how to hurt people, how to make them pay, and how to disappear before the police arrive. She also knows Elias well enough to recognize the look in his eyes when something is wrong.
So when she discovers that her trusted partner has been hired to kill her, she doesn't run.
She fights.
What begins as a hunt quickly becomes a dangerous game of betrayal, suspicion, and reluctant attraction. Because Elias has a choice to make : finish the job and walk away five million dollars richer...
Or betray the one rule he's never broken.
Never betray a contract.
But when the man who hired him decides that betrayal deserves punishment, Elias and Phoenix find themselves hunted by the same enemy.
And this time, surviving may mean trusting the person who was supposed to be their greatest threat.
He was paid to kill her.
She was never supposed to become the reason he stopped.
