Elion Killian Raven, 28, is a ruthless assassin known for his brutality. He kills without hesitation and fears nothing. Yet there is one person he has always watched—Annika Ashwood.
Annika, 18, is a sweet, innocent, and spoiled college girl. Since childhood, she has often seen Elion because he is a close friend of her older brothers. She never understood why his eyes always seemed to follow her whenever he visited their home.
Elion has always been fascinated by Annika’s innocent face and beauty. When he tells her that he wants her, Annika rejects him. Elion only gives her a warning: she has ten years to enjoy her freedom because when he returns, she will belong to him.
Annika thinks he is joking.
He is not.
Years later, Elion returns and kidnaps Annika, taking her away from her family. He expects a frightened girl, but instead discovers that his captive is impossibly spoiled. She refuses to wash dishes, cries easily, complains about everything, and becomes disgusted whenever something is dirty.
For the ruthless assassin, controlling Annika proves more difficult than any dangerous mission.
Before returning her to her parents, Elion decides to marry her. But Annika’s parents refuse to accept him. They see him as a dangerous criminal and believe he can never be worthy of their daughter.
Elion refuses to give up. He is willing to prove that beneath his violent reputation is a man capable of loving and protecting Annika.
Eventually, her parents agree to accept their relationship on one condition: Annika must leave for five years to study abroad.
Their separation tests everything they have built together.
When Annika finally returns, she must face the question she once avoided—whether she can live without the man who claimed her heart long before she was ready to admit it.
