Argent is a seasoned assassin, trying to bring down an underground s*x slave auction when he sees her.
Penelope had moved to Brazil in hopes of starting over again after the death of her beloved uncle. With her best friend in tow, she is ready for a new adventure. Unfortunately, adventure comes in the form of a kidnapping, and a possible life as a s*x slave.
Hope is almost lost until she meets Argent's beautiful golden eyes across the auctioneer's platform. Neither expected to find love or to be caught in a web of lies that nearly keeps them apart. But there are no regrets when destiny is involved.

The Assassin's Destiny

Chapter 12: Words said in a moment of passion are still true 


 He didn’t say it back. I mean, I didn’t expect him to, and I was so exhausted that I blurted it out without a thought. However, I can’t pretend that I didn’t mean what I said. I’m in love with him. Of course, I should have chosen a better venue to say it. Or even waited a while longer, but I can’t deny that I felt it. However, in the light of day, all I feel is regret. And it’s only worse because he’s not lying next to me this morning. Over the past several weeks, he has made sure to wake up next to me or wake me up before he goes, but he didn’t this time. 


 Heart in my throat, I swallow down my trepidation, rise from the bed, and reach for my dress. I’m not sure that I want to be here when Argent comes back. I guess I’m not too old to take the walk of shame. 


 Thankfully, I don’t run into Argent as I make my way to the front door.
