"Take my hand," he shouts, dropping his gun and extending his arm towards me.
"Never in a million years," I snap, trying to steady myself as I feel my grip slowly slipping at the edge.
"Look here, Solace, I'm trying to save your life, not asking you to marry me," he tries again.
Knowing that I don't really have another option, I grab onto his arm, finding a foothold at last as he hauls me upwards.
I bump into him and his arms snake around my waist, helping me regain my balance.
"The word your brain is searching for is 'thank you'," an arrogant smirk forms on his lips.
"You wish," I remark, trying to push past him.
"Fine, just know you asked for it. I usually like repayment of my deeds," he says, before smashing his lips onto mine.

Clove Solace, a FBI surveillance investigator, is someone you don't wanna mess with.
She's smart, short-tempered and a strategist, just about everything you can't handle. But that's before she meets Zach, a person she was totally not planning to bump into. Being the Head Field Agent of the case they're working on, he may not be very friendly but there are mysteries hiding under that quirky sense of humour we fall in love with.
Sounds like your typical romance novel? Believe me, this is nothing like that.
Just a crime thriller with a touch of angsty romance, as you discover the true sides of each person and slowly fall in love with the members of the team. But that's until everything goes wrong, and maybe all stories don't have a very happy ending. This one does though, and you'll see how.
It's not a rule that agents are not supposed to engage in any romantic relationships while working on a case. However, it's not exactly something which the management department supports and as time passes, our partners in crime find it difficult to maintain their perfect reputation.
Jealous best friends, sisters in love and an unknown spy? We've a long journey to embark on before this story gets over...

Black eyes. Soulless. Unforgiving.
Grey. Ice-cold, but just enough that I'm able to melt it.
Both make me feel something. The matter was, which one out-weighed the other?
Rule-bound, my life feels more like a cage than it ever has. I have no opportunity to use my fire and break out- heat can only do so much.
And then like a fish out of water, I have to attach myself to this man- a man I know is dangerous.
But so am I.
The thing is, I don't know just how much. Only when he touches me, looks at me, talks to me even if his voice is laced with Russian poison.. that's when I realize just what agreement I've accorded with. It's a crippling touch of fire everytime he's near, and the most dangerous thing of all- even more than him, is the fact that I don't hate it.
Stone is what I see when I look into his eyes.
I wonder, is his heart made of it too?
Nikolas Volkov
When a bloody feud between the Russian Bratva and the Cosa Nostra ends with one outback- I'm forced to put myself in a position I have no other choice but to fulfill. With the Pakhan on my back, eyes everywhere mean complying is the only option.
Only when the moment comes, is when I realize just what I've gotten myself into.
She's.. indecipherable. I don't know what the hell this feeling is. I know it's not good.
But my body tells me it's not bad, either.
I try to stay away, but feeling her tremble and light like a switch underneath my touch when she's so used to staying upright, it awakens a dark, fulfilling part of me.
My heart's made of stone. It always has been.
So why do I feel it sway whenever she's near?
