Eve Erixour is a mercenary with a past no one would envy and more enemies than anyone should have. Death stalks her relentlessly. So when she gains the attention of a League assassin, she considers it par for the course.
But Jinx Shadowbourne isn't after Eve. Someone has it in for him and his brethren. High-ranking assassins are falling, and Jinx is convinced one of their own is selling them out. He's on the trail of his key suspect when fate throws him headfirst into Eve's life. Now the two of them have to find the League leak and plug it or neither one of them will live to face another enemy, and the ones they love, and the universe at large, will be left alone to face a power-crazed madman.
Contains mature themes.
When they meet again, Jinx is unconscious and nearly dead and Eve doesn't think twice about loading him up and taking him home. Even though it could bring the League right to her door.
Jinx doesn't easily comprehend why Eve would risk herself for him. As a member of the League, he knows he's a tool to everyone that comes into his life so suspicion is at the forefront of his triggered responses when he comes to. But Eve's sincerity gives him pause. And her kindness touches his long jaded heart.
They share one evening together. Neither expecting more.
Jinx needs to report in before his life becomes even more in jeopardy. And Eve has her own problems. Her sister, Jayne, is being held in a League prison.
But she isn't asking for his help.
Nor does she have to.
4 out of 5 stars. I do love how Syn keeps showing up in these installments.
