Publisher's Synopsis
She was orphaned as a baby and abused as a woman. She spends her days covering bruises until they fade, only to get new ones. Her life is as dark as the lifestyle she is forced to live. Would Joy ever be able to escape the terror in her life to find any? He was Marine with PTSD with deep scars inside and out. Now a killer-for-hire, he uses that way of life as a form of therapy by righting the wrong to make his life tolerable. Can Gary ever get past his demons to feel the happiness and love that only Joy can bring? They are two people from completely different worlds. Neither of them is aware of the true motive or reason why they have come together unwittingly. There is a physical attraction between the two of them they can't ignore. Joy is not aware that the seemingly sweet man is a professional killer hired by her husband to murder her and Gary does not know that Joy is his mark. She's drawn to him, quickly becoming addicted to his gentleness. He's equally drawn to her in ways that he can't explain. He only knows that the more he is with her, the more he can't be without her Nothing can prepare either of them from the truth they are about to learn. Although this is a love story, if you're looking for a glamorized BDSM story of love, trust, and control, this isn't it.
