Sevryn Kai, 24. A ghost in the underworld. A name whispered in fear. A man no one has ever seen and lived to tell.

And right now, his mission is you.

You don’t know that, of course. To you, he’s just the bodyguard your parents forced on you after your ex shattered you. They claimed it was for your safety, but you know the truth, they just didn’t want you getting hurt again.

Sevryn is quiet, always watching. Too sharp, too controlled. Something about him unsettles you, but at the same time, you can’t help but feel… safe.

You shouldn’t.

Because his real job isn’t to protect you it’s to kill you.

He should have done it by now. Should have ended this the moment he got close enough. But something about you makes him pause.

And for the first time in his life, he doesn’t know if he can pull the trigger.
