Tall, dark, and sexy as hell, Thorne Hollow knows the power he holds over the opposite sex and how to use it.
Cast out by the gods thousands of years ago, he roams the earth working as an assassin for The Sicarii, a secret society who protects humans from all of the things that go bump in the night.
Long ago, Thorne made the mistake of falling in love with a human, and her death stripped him bare. Now he is destined to live a life of solitude. One night stands are his way of life … until he meets a mysterious woman whose intriguing power compels him to uncover more about her and the strange magic she wields.
Hired Gun is a paranormal thriller, with a whole lot of steam. Thorne is the grandson of a very well known hero in Greek mythology, but has been banished by the gods because of his blatant disregard for their rules. He’s not one to settle down and doesn’t look for lasting relationship ships, he’s very much a one-night stand sort of guy. This novella basically introduces us to Thorne, his past, and the way he navigates his world. I can’t say Thorne is my favorite type of guy. He’s sexy and he knows it, and he forms absolutely no attachments making him a tough one to get to know. I really liked the fact that he is an hit man who goes after criminals. I also love the added mythology and creatures which make his world much more interesting. I’m definitely curious about the new woman in her life and why she gets under his skin so badly.
This is a promising start to a novella serial!

And dancers? We f*#k best of all.”
The moment I saw her, I knew. Her innocence is intoxicating. My lust is fierce. Primal.To watch her dance is to know the torment of true temptation.
She will be mine.
*Part one of a sexy, seductive new romance serial*
