Raised by her father, Kyra's childhood was made up of cons
and scams instead of school and friends, until a casino
owner decides her father needs to die after winning big at
the tables. Kyra pulls one of her biggest jobs getting
revenge by humiliating the man who murdered her father; now
she is on the run living off her creativity. Her unique
ability to steal a person's best talent by just touching
them is keeping her in the money. But it is a lonely
existence, until she meets a drifter she's strongly
attracted to physically. Kyra attempts to ditch him, afraid
she is getting too attached, but he turns up again. To her
surprise, she asks him to join her as she travels across
the country to safety.
As an assassin, Reyes is the best at what he does; he has
no mercy, yet he chooses his targets with care. His most
recent mark apparently murdered her own father after he
cheated her out of her cut of their spoils. He finally
tracks her down after a considerable amount of time, which
is a miracle, since she flies under the radar and off the
grid. Watching her work is amazing, she is very talented at
scamming her marks with skill and finesse. Unfortunately,
her time is marked with death. His first objective is to
gain her trust, to get close enough to complete the job he
is hired to do. Yet the closer he gets to Kyra, the more he
feels; and the more he feels, the bigger his regret. Not
good for a man in his profession.
Ava Gray writes a powerful and thrilling story with
murder, humor, betrayal, love and hot steamy sex. I didn't
want the story to end. I am definitely addicted.
A beautiful fugitive—wanted dead or
alive.
Kyra is a con woman and a particular kind of thief. She
steals with a touch, but she only takes one thing: her
target’s strongest skill. Which means she can be a fighter,
an athlete, a musician, an artist — anything she wants…for a
limited time.
Heartbroken, she turns her gift toward avenging her
father’s murder; with deadly patience, Kyra works her way
into casino owner Gerard Serrano’s inner circle. After
pulling off the ultimate con, she flees with his money and
his pride.
A hit man who never misses the mark.
Reyes has nothing but his work. Pity for Kyra, he’s the best
and mercy never sways him once he takes a job. He’s been
hired to find out where Kyra hid the cash — and bring her
back to face Serrano’s “justice.” Dead will do, if he can’t
locate the loot. He’s never failed to complete a contract,
but Kyra tempts him with her fierce heat and her outlaw
heart. So Reyes has a hell of a choice: forsake his word or
kill the woman he might love.
