Prologue.

Raphael is a hit man, trained and poised. He kills without a thought and nothing ever goes wrong, until her.
Tess witnessed his last hit and Raphael panicked, taking her with him to a secluded cabin high in the woods while he tries to decide what to do with her.
The men who hired him to kill her boss want her dead but Raphael isn't sure he can do it even if she alone holds the power to permanently lock him behind the bars he fears.
Can be read as a stand-alone novel.
