9 parts Ongoing MatureSkylar Calisto Mavis is as rutheless as it gets to men. Raised by a pack of brothers, her childhood was never easy, not when you have a million of skeletons in the closet and family secrets to keep hidden. From a young age, she was prepared and raised to be the best of the asset to the family: a weapon. In every possible meaning of the word. Brought up on violence and threats, messing with men's heads for fun and business became her hobby. Defying them out of fun, leading them on, getting task after task done with flying colors.
Until one day, one of them manages to disable her killer insinct.
Leo Lennox is everything Skylar isn't. Collected, grounded, calm and with a plan set out for the future. He's the complete opposite to Skylar's needed ride-or-die, daring and reckless personality, therefore a bore to her. Yet, something about him has her hooked from the first time they meet. And it doesn't let her go ever since.
Looking at life and everything in it like a chess game, Skylar begins to struggle at making moves that are well needed, but also harmless enough to keep Nathaniel in the playing field. Yet no matter how much she tries to keep her darkness to herself, he sticks around. Which only makes the game that much harder since the queen that used to be delivering the blows, suddenly starts protecting.
