Manic [h.s]
Iris Xander made a living out of crime. She'd go to any lengths for a fat stack of cash, whether it meant swiping wallets in plain sight or stepping on a few throats to get what she wanted. But sneaking into a minister's mansion to get her hands on something valuable at the wrong time is where things get tricky. What she didn't see coming was crossing paths with a stranger with striking green eyes that could easily draw you in and pull you under. But not everything that glitters is gold. He is no saint. So, who is this mysterious man? Why does he drive her to the brink of madness? What makes them hate each other so intensely that they find themselves pointing guns at one another, so close to almost ending each other with no hesitation? And most importantly... who would be the first to pull the trigger?
