Whistleblower

<p><b>When you find something precious... you defend it with your life.</b><br><b><br>EDEN</b><br>Where I come from, there's no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed, with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins.<br><br>After moving clear across the country, I thought I'd feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valour, but then I meet him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is.<br><br>I should probably be intimidated by the most lethal assassin PALADIN employs, except the monster has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me. <br><br>Still, the question remains of who should I fear more, the ones who are after me or the ones who promised to protect me?<br><br><b>LINC</b><br>I love the way she screams my name, but I like how she whispers it too.<br><br>I vowed to never get attached, but Eden has a hold on me that no one has before. She's the light and until her, I didn't realise how lonely the darkness is.<br><br>Forget PALADIN's rules. I refuse to let her go. I've finally found what's precious to me and now I have to keep her close, defend her fiercely. She's mine to pleasure and protect.<br><br>And whoever keeps threatening Eden's life, is going to lose theirs.</p>
