Assassin.
Hired gun.
Bounty hunter.
Whatever you want to call me, whatever I need to be, doesn’t matter. It’s all the same. A way to make a living, to survive. Even when the tables are turned.
The year is 2095. The Americas Revolution has ended. And Cyan Sebastian is on the run.
Cyan—the last blue-eyed woman known to exist in the Western hemisphere—is in danger. But what's new? Sought after since she was an infant—by scientists, the government, breeders, and far worse—the bounty on her head grew as she did. Now a young woman, her safeguards are gone, her sequestered life is ripped apart, and she is running with a man sworn to protect her.
The same man who once hunted her for the bounty she would fetch—and the man who days before, killed her father.
Devin McCrae tracked Cyan and her family for over a decade. He never dreamed her father would one day drop her into his lap with a proposition he couldn’t refuse. He also never imagined that instead of hunting Cyan for the bounty she would bring, he would become her protector from the others.
Mostly, he never expected to fall for her. Resisting Cyan was next to impossible, until she came to him with a solution to one of their problems—a way to eliminate the bounty on her virginity.
And the price for him taking that? Deadly.
