"His strident voice cuts through the silence and a chill laces through my cells. In his naturally taunt voice, my name sounds like a death sentence. His pale brown eyes appear as black holes in the shadows and he stands tall, his shoulders squared, hands tucked into the pockets of his frayed jeans, abnormally casual - but the corner of his mouth quirks into a barely visible sneer that curdles my blood."

Harry Steel is one of the targets of The Faceless, South London's most brutal gang. You may wonder why such prolific criminals would spend two years waiting on the capture of their nineteen-year-old victim, but the true reasons died along with his brother Ben and the rest of Harry's family. 
Faced with loss, danger and isolation, Harry rebuilds his life in San Francisco and stays firmly stable until he meets the  capricious and enchanting Hope Thorne, who has a dangerous secret.
The pair soon realise that in order to stay alive on their terminal journey, their darkest secrets must first die. 
As the saying goes, you can run, but you can't hide.

I lift my hand, holding my pistol to his chest, hovering over his heart. He stares at me, emotions spilling out of him. Emotions I can't decipher. He leans closer, the tip of the barrel pressing into his skin, just above his heart. "Do it," he whispers, inches from my face. I hold his gaze, while his hands snake under my shirt, grazing my skin. "I dare you," he lowers his voice, so gently, "Shoot me." My finger curls around the trigger, an inch from pulling it. I glare into his eyes, "You're a fucking monster," I whisper. He nods, "I know." "You kill without remorse," I spit. "I know." "I hate you," My finger screams at me to pull the trigger. "I know." "I'm disgusted by you." "I know," he inhales, letting his forehead rest against mine. His gaze falls to my lips, "If you want me dead, then kill me, pull the trigger." -- It's no longer a question. My morals are gone, leaving nothing but a monstrous killing machine. Any hope for some sort of sympathy, some regard for life is nonexistent. I want death. I want to be the bringer of death, and the essence of slaughter. "Sweet innocent little Rhea. Never did anything wrong. Wouldn't hurt a fly," he smiles coldly, "I couldn't wait to pull the trigger."

I yelled but before I could breathe in I was pinned to the wall. I gasped. Staring into his dark blue eyes made every bone of my body weak. He smirked, knowing exactly what he did. "You got too comfortable with me, doll but I didn't show you what Ace can really do." He mumbled. He broke the eye contact we were having and leaned closer to my neck. My heart beat was racing his and each breath he took sent electricity all over my body. I bit my tongue, scared of what my brain could make me say. "And I don't think you want to know," he whispered so close to my ear sending shivers down my spine. I took a deep breath, trying to collect my thoughts. He moved back to stare into my eyes, wanting to see his effect on me but I didn't give it to him. I smirked, pushed my chin down and looked up at him.
