Being the best assassin in my little corner of the world has given me a certain reputation and allows me to hide my big, bleeding heart. See, I have a secret. I don't actually kill every contract I take. Someone I truly despise offers me a hit on an orc for a truly impressive amount of credits. If I don't take it, someone else will. But maybe I don't have to kill him, especially since that look in his eyes haunts me. He's being held in prison, and getting in is only the first challenge - and probably the easiest. Now I have to convince him to trust me - not just him, but the guys in with him. Von, my job, is the champion of the Pit now, and they'll be reluctant to let him go. The leonine Zazz is fun, but I'm pretty sure he has just as many secrets as I do. And Cavarra, the troll... I'm pretty sure he'd just as soon stab me as look at me. Getting them out should foster some trust, but building a bond goes both ways. Right around the time spec ops starts shooting at me, I realize I may be in too deep. But I'm a professional. I will get this job done - hopefully before it blows my cover or someone has to pay the ultimate price. The Contract is a steamy dystopian reverse harem fantasy with dark themes, and is intended for adult readers.
