From USA Today bestselling author Michelle Heard comes a scorching yet deadly romance about a waitress who falls for a mysterious coworker—only to discover his lethal past.
I thought Rowan was just the quiet bartender who watched me too closely and made me feel things I shouldn’t.

One minute I’m living my normal life, and the next, I’m on a trip across the country with a man trained to kill without hesitation.
A retired assassin. Possessive, violent, and deadly enough to leave a trail of bodies behind us.
Every mile between us and the men hunting him drags me deeper into Rowan’s terrifying world, where violence means survival and bloodshed comes way too easy.
I keep looking for redeeming qualities in him but quickly realize there are none, and there’s no escaping a man like Rowan Teller.
Not even if I wanted to.
