Eliot spencer meets Kara, his perfect match, and potential greatest enemy. Her secret? Elliot and his former employer killed her parents, leaving her in a hospital bed for months. Driven by revenge she's spent the last five years hunting down everyone responsible, and Elliot is her last target. His bullet was the one that ended her mothers life, and nearly her own.
Her plan is simple, torture him until he can't take it anymore. Get him to fall in love with her and rip it all away from him. That is until Henric Moroe, the man who ordered the hit, breaks out of jail.
Forcing her hand before her plan is complete, Moroe kidnaps the only family Kara has, her recently paralyzed best friend. She finds herself forced to ask Elliot's team of black market knights of the round table to help her since she had nowhere else to turn. Against her better judgment she joins the team, her only goal now is saving the only family she has left.
Things only get worse from there when his teams grifter and the glue that holds the team together, Sophie, wants to take a break. The replacement she's chosen? None other than the former Escort and grifter in training Kara Andrews. Could she really find her place amongst the people she thought she hated the most, or will it ultimately end in more blood spilled?
"How long has he been hurting you?" There it is. The question I dreaded, but I promised him I would be honest, so I took a deep breath and answered.
"Seven years." I didn't look at him. I waited for him to pull his hand away, to hit me, to say I was disgusting. And as I waited my grip on his hand started to falter.
