Best friend. The guy next door. Secret hitman. Rhys has wanted his best friend Vivi for years. But if she knew all the wicked, dirty things he wanted to do with her, she'd never speak to him again. She'd also never speak to him again if she knew he was a contract killer. But when Vivi's life is threatened because of Rhys's dark past, it's up to him to protect her. Off grid in a remote cabin, it becomes harder and harder to resist years of pent up need. And when Vivi shows that she wants him too? All bets are off. But can he protect the woman he loves, and his heart at the same time?
