SEDUCED BY THE ASSASSIN
* * *
I fell for the one man I shouldn’t. Now that I'm legal, he'll kill to claim me.
* * *
I’m Havana.
Today, I turn eighteen…and I’m in love with a man nearly twice my age.
Did I mention that Ransom is my ex-boyfriend’s father?
Wanting him doesn’t just cross a line—it’s forbidden.
When he stumbles through my door, shot and bleeding, I save his life.
Together, we hole up in a luxurious hideaway made for sin.
Safe from his dangerous world, he corrupts every inch of me.
And he’s shocked to discover I’m not the woman he thought.
But his enemies are closing in.
And if he doesn’t eliminate them, we won’t live to see tomorrow…

Ransom

The woman I can’t forget is through that door, less than ten feet from me, working. There’s a lock separating us, but that’s not enough to keep me from her.
Nothing is.
I swallow, gripping the gift box in my hand. Will she be surprised? She’s smart; she should be expecting me. After all, I made her a vow. I splayed her thighs indecently wide on my kitchen counter, stared into her golden eyes, and promised I would come for her the day she turned legal. Then tore myself from her kiss-swollen lips before I did something irredeemable, and I left.
Now I’m here, and I’m done waiting. After seven agonizing weeks of putting space between Havana Smith and me, the unstoppable force of our attraction has me sniffing her out like a damn rutting dog.
If she falls into my arms this time, I won’t stop.
So why am I standing out in the rain, hesitating?
Because I’ve lost my fucking mind.
I used to be a sane man. Well, as sane as anyone in my line of work can be. But now I’m certifiable. I’m probably on the verge of making the biggest mistake of my life and I don’t give a fuck.
I’m thirty-four…and I’m completely fucking in love with a girl who’s turning eighteen today. I’m in the middle of some really dangerous shit. Oh, and did I mention she’s my son’s ex-girlfriend? Yeah, this won’t be complicated at all.
