Nightmares of the past...

Ryland had lived his life as the world's most sought-after assassin by numerous clandestine government agencies. He's been the best of the best while not making apologies for the contracts he's executed. That was all taken from him when his obscured past was exposed by the malicious actions of a former employer, forcing him into an early retirement.

Dreams of the future...

Fallon Canna was a gifted profiler for the FBI with one goal--to figure out what made Travis Bowers tick. It had become an obsession to unravel why a promising young Marine had turned into a skilled killer for hire. Her fixation becomes personal when a piece of classified information crosses her desk that just might shed light on why Travis Bowers became known as the notorious Ryland.

Restoring reality...

Ryland has done his best to blend in with society, but it's a punishment worse than death. He's been passing the time of his seclusion with visions of a beautiful blonde who only wants inside of his mind, so he's skeptical when Fallon suddenly appears in his kitchen in the dead of night. He's more than willing to see where their attraction takes them, but there's an unspoken inquiry in those blue eyes of hers that could only end in heartbreak--because a woman can't redeem a man who doesn't have a soul.
