Bereft

Book One in the Dark Hearts series.

On the day she turned eighteen, Adeline Rosenwald became the heiress to her father's fortune and one of the richest young women alive. And that is exactly why she is in danger.

An assassination attempt on the night of her eighteenth led Adeline's father to recruit the help of the ruthless and mysterious Spider, a once-feared murderer and now an equally feared bounty hunter. But his job isn't to track down the assassin-it's to protect Adeline, and neither of the two are so keen.

But no matter how hard they fight it, their deep hatred begins to grow into passion, and with the need to survive, the two have no choice but to trust each other, even if it means they could lose everything.
