Hired gun, Hickman, makes a living of sorts. The pay's good. He's not tied down. And he has a talent for what he does.
But he's alone.
After all, what are his options? He's no beauty. No charmer. If she knew he was a professional hitman, what woman would want to share his life?
And, when his current employer's mistress is beautiful, intelligent, and charismatic, why move on? Even if she does see him as part of the furniture.
But when danger materialises, unlooked-for, and from an unexpected source, the time has come for Hickman to risk everything to save the life of the woman he loves.
