Eden Where I come from, there’s no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins. After moving clear across the country, I thought I’d feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valor, but then I met him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is. I should probably be intimidated by the most lethal assassin Paladin employs, except the monster has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me. Still, the question remains of who I should fear more… The ones who are after me or the ones who promised to protect me. Linc I love the way she screams my name, but I like how she whispers it, too. I vowed to never get attached, but Eden has a hold on me that no one has before. She’s the light, and until her, I didn’t realize how lonely the darkness is. Forget Paladin’s rules. I refuse to let her go. I’ve finally found what’s precious to me, and now I have to keep her close, defend her fiercely. She’s mine to pleasure and protect. Whoever keeps threatening Eden’s life is going to lose theirs. Whistleblower is book one in the Paladin series. It is a spicy, touch-her-and-die, romantic suspense with a morally gray alpha hero. Intended for mature listeners.
