Présentation de l'éditeur
Their love is impossible and forbidden, not of this world...
Alina Marinescu was not cold hearted, she was not cruel, and she was not a killer. Now, death is part of her every day. Section Special Operations mistook her for all that she was not, and Alex Therein, the man she thought she loved, turned her into what they needed. He turned her into an assassin.
From the moment Alina meets the enigmatic Alex, she knows that he would steal her heart as surely as he fulfils his secret mission of recruiting her. But love is the furthest thing from Alex’s mind. He is a man with a dark past. The blank-faced, often emotionless, and coldly efficient operative must kill to survive. No questions asked. He is more of a ghost that finds it too easy to just die, as in the life he leads there are only two choices: you live, or you die. So he chooses to live, but extinguishes his emotions completely.
His mission is to seduce Alina, and although he purposely lures her into his world of sensations, he collapses emotionally for the first time since his own recruitment. He is assigned to be Alina’s mentor during the training process, having to deal not only with her hatred, but also with the implications and responsibilities of transforming an innocent human being into another instrument of death like himself. From his own experience, he knows that if she refuses to play by the rules, she dies.
