She was supposed to be a one-night mistake.
He was supposed to be just another man to ruin.
But when a bullet meant for her misses its mark, they're thrust into a world of blood deals, masked betrayals, and midnight escapes - and suddenly, the girl who doesn't love anyone and the man who was never meant to love at all find themselves addicted to something far more dangerous than revenge:
Each other.
Now they're running.
From the past. From their enemies.
From the terrifying truth that they'd kill for each other -
and die just the same.

If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything.
