The assassins weakness

He was trained to kill. She was the one person he could never stay away from.

Zayden Rossi has spent his entire life hiding in the shadows. To the outside world, he's nothing more than an arrogant, infuriating troublemaker-especially to Alaina Maxwell, his best friend Callum's younger sister. Beneath the cocky smirk and sharp tongue, however, lies a deadly secret: Zayden is a highly trained assassin, living a life built on lies, blood, and impossible choices.

Alaina has spent years pretending she can't stand him. He's always pushing her buttons, always acting like the world's biggest asshole. What he doesn't know is she's loved him since they were kids. And what she doesn't know is every cruel word, every sarcastic remark, has been Zayden's desperate attempt to keep his distance... because getting close to her could get her killed.

When a tragic accident claims the lives of Alaina and Callum's parents, everything changes. Consumed by grief, Alaina spirals into a reckless life of late nights, alcohol, and dangerous decisions, trying to outrun the pain that's destroying her from the inside out.

Watching her fall apart is torture for Zayden. The walls he's spent years building begin to crumble as his need to protect her grows into an obsession he can no longer control. But when his secret life catches up with him, Alaina is pulled into a world of assassins, betrayal, and enemies who will stop at nothing to use her against him.

Now Zayden must decide what matters more: the mission he's been trained for his entire life... or the girl who's always been his greatest weakness.

Some secrets are worth killing for.

Some people are worth dying for.
