Ewan is an assassin with a convoluted idea of love and a troubled past.
As a child, Taryn's heart was stolen by the broody bad boy. Too bad that he was her devious sister's boyfriend. When Ewan disappears and her sister abandons her and her father to marry a rich older man, Taryn is left to survive.
One chance meeting will change their lives forever. Will Ewan see what is meant to be and see the past for what it was? Or will he make the same mistake again and lose the love of his life?

The Assassin's Atonement

 Waking up next to Taryn’s bare, pliant body is a new experience. I’m not a saint, but I’ve always kept my sexual encounters brief and separate from my life. However, Taryn is more than an encounter. I care for her. She’s the first woman with whom I have felt a deep connection. I don’t even think I felt this way about her sister, Tamsyn. 


 It’s a precarious situation because I don’t want her to think that I’m using her. I no longer have feelings for Tamsyn. Especially after realizing what kind of monster she became. No, I want Taryn, and now that I have her, I intend to enjoy her.
