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

 Things have changed so much in the past year. As I watch Ava and Ewan splash around the beach, I smile. 


 After her attempt to kill us, Tamsyn was convicted to thirty years for attempted murder. Ava cried for days. It was hard to watch, but Ewan and I did everything we could to console her. We even put her in counseling. After months of therapy, she was able to understand that her mother was disturbed and that she had nothing to do with Tamsyn’s psychotic behavior. I mean, even I knew that Tamsyn was messed up way before then. 


 Once Stuart was buried, and everything was settled for Tamsyn’s hearing, we asked Ava if she’d move in with us. At first, she couldn’t believe that we’d take her in after everything her mother did. However, Ewan and I assured her that we loved her for her and not for who her mother was. It took a while, but eventually, she settled into living with us. In fact, it feels like she was always there. She just fits.
