Mercenary's Passion (Mercenary's Passion #1)
Ava Augereau
Klaus
Assassins don't usually retire, but I did. I could've spent the rest of my life relaxing with my attractive boyfriend. Instead, I've been talked into taking a job transporting silver across the European continent. Our crew consists of three sinfully handsome fellow assassins and my boyfriend, who I allowed to join against my better judgement.
There are a few things I haven't told my boyfriend Magnus about this job. First, my intimate history with one of our colleagues. My passionate tryst with Franky ended when I decapitated his lover, and we haven't spoken since the war.
Second, I haven't fully elaborated on the breadth of the 'skanky wastrel' phase I went through in my twenties. Magnus thinks I have problems with commitment, I'd say I've been hurt too many times.
Magnus
I've always felt out of depth in Klaus' life- and his bed. I agreed to come on this job in the hopes it would bring us closer together. If I had my own stories to tell maybe Klaus would find my company more compelling. At the very least, maybe this last job is enough to convince him to settle down for good.
But I can't ignore the looks of attraction and desire that pass between Klaus and the other assassins. I feel awful when they look at me the same way, tracing their eyes over my body. What am I supposed to do?
Of all people, I find myself becoming close with Klaus' ex. What starts at raunchy joking becomes something real, and I feel tempted to do more than just talk. Franky understands me in a way that Klaus never did.
Things heat up when we're put in close quarters. And a shocking discovery leaves me feeling betrayed, driving me into Franky's waiting embrace. Was my decision to take this job worth the payoff, or did my selfish desires push my lover and I into the arms of other men?
