Chalk Lines & Crosshairs

Her: Zariah Ellis
24. 5'1". Dark brown skin, curly brown hair, glasses, dimples.
The shy, innocent English teacher with the legendary candy drawer. Every kid at Millbrook High knows: if you're bleeding, broken, or just hungry, you go to Miss E. She's the sweetest soul in the building... and the one everyone overlooks.
Youngest of three, she grew up in the shadow of her gorgeous, popular sisters. High school taught her she was the "ugly shy one." She believed it.
Him: Callan Wolfe
31. 6'3". Brown hair, whiskey eyes, beard, tattoos.
The new PE teacher. Hard. Cold. Built like sin.
Except he's not a teacher.
He's Rook - black-ops assassin, undercover to dismantle a trafficking ring using the school's charity drives. The target is faculty. His orders: Don't get attached. Don't break cover. Don't feel.
The Problem:
He was supposed to watch everyone.
Instead, he can't stop watching her.
The shy teacher who stays late grading papers. Who kneels to a kid's level instead of talking down. Who thinks she's invisible but lights up every room she walks into.
She's innocent. He's violence.
She's candy and cardigans. He's blood and silencers.
She's the mission liability he can't afford... and the one person he'd burn the whole operation down for.
When the ring puts her in their crosshairs, his mission changes.
It's no longer find the target.
It's touch her and die.
