Dead Drop (The Guild #2)(113)
Fuck that. I fired again, warning them not to fucking try me. But I was at an awkward angle and injured. I didn’t even see the guy sneaking up behind until he seized my hair in a brutal grip, using it to drag me kicking and fighting from the wreckage of the van.
He knocked my gun from my hand, but I fought back. It was useless, though, with the aches of the crash rendering my punches weaker than a wet kitten.
A solid fist slammed into my face, making me black out momentarily. The sound of a gunshot snapped me back into consciousness, and I crumpled to the gravel as the man holding me fell over dead.
“Anyone else hits my daughter, you can expect the same fate,” a woman barked, and I raised my face just far enough to see her walking toward me in severe black high heels.
What the fuck did she just say?
“Pick her up,” the woman snapped to someone else. “Get her in the van and sedate her. We don’t need any more casualties today.”
Rough hands grasped me, lifting me up, and my vision blacked again. I must have hit my head harder than I realized in the crash, because I couldn’t muster the strength to fight back. All I could do was squint at the woman in charge.
She met my gaze with cool, sapphire blue eyes. Her white blonde hair was pulled back from her face in a pristine chignon, and her expression was fierce.
Daughter. She’d called me her daughter… and now I believed it.

KILL ORDER
COMING JUNE 24TH, 2022
kill order
noun
a document issued by the Circle allowing for the murder of a mercenary with no agency repercussions. A rarely-wielded tool, the kill order brings the Circle’s full wrath down on its target.
Worthless, useless, waste of space. That’s what my father liked to remind me on a daily basis. I was a stain on his pristine reputation. We both were, Moana and I. He taught us that we were less than nothing, we were an inconvenience. Slugs on the cabbage of life. But he was wrong.
Because of him, my sister and I dedicated our lives to helping others. Fighting for others who couldn’t fight for themselves. We took risks, gained ranks, and eventually discovered a purpose. My big sister, my best friend… her pain and loss gave us the direction we both so desperately needed.
We were a unit. A family. A team. Dedicated to a purpose. My calling in life. Until I met her.
How do I tame the deadliest of women? How can I prove myself to her, snaring her in the bonds that have lashed me to her? How do I navigate a partnership with a man I loathe, to whom I’d spent years wanting to destroy?
Destroy the Guild. Take Danny home. Live our life.
That had been my goal.
Now?
I want her back. I want the Guild out of her life. I’ll sell my soul and work with my enemy if I have to.
Whatever it takes.
