Since her father's sinister murder three years ago, Charley Green's life has never been the same. She finds her family shattered and frozen in the tragedy that derailed their lives that fateful Christmas morning, in which her father's lifeless body was discovered mutilated and gunned down in a motel. Desperate for closure, Charley decides she is done waiting for outside forces to grant her salvation. 

As her father's old friends re-enter her life, she finds that what lies beneath their smiling faces may be more ominous than what she anticipated. With each layer that is peeled back, their intentions become more questionable, their relationship with her father more sinister. As Charley soon begins to realize, sometimes the darkest truths lie beneath the honeyed masks of those closest to you. 

Those truths are best left buried.

Come and Get Me ✔️ by Chronically-Chaotic

"Do you normally make-out with the people you're hired to kill? It doesn't strike me as very professional." "Put the gun down," Gabriel panted, not answering her. "Why on earth would I do that?" "Because you're not going to shoot me," Gabriel replied, noting that she still had the safety on. "I bet you've never shot anything in your life." She studied his gun with a smile. "Maybe you're right," she replied. Then she pointed the gun back at him, taking off the safety and cocking it. "Are you willing to bet your life on it?" she asked him coolly. *** He didn't know anything about her - her name, age, even what she looked like. He only knew it was his job to kill her. But when Gabriel comes face to face with his latest target, he finds himself completely mesmerized and can't pull the trigger. Left with few viable options, he decides to kidnap her. Unfortunately for him, she's not willing to come quietly. Instead, their encounter sets off an intense game of cat and mouse, unraveling Gabriel's entire world in the process.
