His Heart to Steal (The Executioner Duet, #1)

“Once a weapon, always a weapon.”

A mantra Scythe lived by. One he killed by.

It carried him through the bad decisions and the uncertain ones.

Being a contract killer for over a decade, how could he not?

A legendary former Army sniper, paired with an enormous build, he is the perfect weapon.

At least that’s what he thinks the world sees him as; until a mission lands in his lap that destroys this perception.

“Nightmare.” “Weapon.” “Machine.”

“A dog.”

The one thing he never wanted to be.

“Ruby is… a woman of the people. A female Robin Hood, if you will.”

Lurking in the shadows of homes, or disguised in the corners of dimly-lit casinos, Ruby has one mission, one singular purpose.

Protect and help the less fortunate.

Armed with traditional shinobi techniques and skills, Ruby’s job is to bring hope and salvation to the vulnerable.

Through casino heists, home robberies, and galas, she uses her beauty and tact to seduce wealthy scumbags out of their exorbitant riches.

But when a skull-masked Assassin threatens to thwart her plans, she finds herself working with the same evil that she’s been fighting against.

Can they put their differences aside and work together before the gluttonous tycoons win it all?
