JILLARY

L.A.P.D. Sergeant Kyna Mason has been long obsessed with taking down drug lord Zachary Howell, but a dead witness lost her the case. While drowning in her sorrows, she meets Desmond Daniels, a private bodyguard as guarded as she—and as lonely. Their frank, whirlwind romance gives them hope for a future beyond their dangerous jobs until he disappears for a month. When he returns, he surrenders himself to her as Howell's top hit-man, revealing her as his next target. With no choice but to use him, she works to bring an end to her agonizing mission and determine whether Desmond will be true to his word.
