Chapter One

Justin's been a lot of things over the years--an orphan, a soldier, and an assassin among others. Right now, though, he's trying to be retired, just another face in the crowd. Trouble finds him in the form of a hate crime dumped just outside his back door, though--a hate crime committed against a cop, no less. Just what a notorious contract killer needs.

His part in this story should end when he leaves the cop at the hospital, but for some reason Justin has to go back. He has to know what becomes of the broken young man he found in the woods, and whether or not he can help him. And if helping him means killing for him...well, it wouldn't be the first time.

Far from it.
