The Monster's Weakness

Gemma

Multiple sclerosis has already taken enough from me. Then my medical coverage disappears, leaving me scrambling to afford the medication I need and wondering how much worse things can get. That's when Caleb walks into my life. Intense, protective, and dangerously irresistible, he makes me feel wanted in a way I never expected. Somehow, my medication gets paid for. Somehow, Caleb is always there when I need him. For the first time in a long time, I feel safe. I just don't know the man I'm falling for is hiding a deadly secret—or that I was never supposed to survive the night that brought him into my life.

Caleb

I kill people for money. I don't hesitate. I don't leave loose ends. And I sure as hell don't fall in love. Then I'm hired to put a bullet in a CEO, and Gemma witnesses the kill. I should eliminate her too. Instead, one look at her and something inside me turns possessive. Obsessive. So I take off the mask, step into her life, and become the man she thinks she can trust. I pay for the medication she can't afford. I make her mine without ever telling her what I really am. But when the bastard who hired me decides my beautiful witness needs to disappear, he makes one fatal mistake. He thinks Gemma is my weakness, she is, but I'll slaughter anyone who tries to take her from me.
