What a ride this was. From the prologue to the epilogue and every page in between.

Duke is 50, a hired killer and runs a construction company with his father. Kelly is in his thirties, a school teacher by day and by night he is the handler for Duke. Naturally they don’t know each other and have never met, until Duke is asked by a third party to take care of a target. A target that happens to be Kelly.

So begins a very enjoyable and intriguing plot that had me reading the book in one sitting. There’s multiple twists and turns along the way to keep things interesting and a great cast of side characters that either help or hinder Duke and Kelly as they unravel the truth. With all this action and danger swirling around them they also manage to explore the connection between them. After negotiating all of this they do find their way to a peaceful HEA which left me smiling.
