Anathema by Jacklyn Parker

ALEXIS LOCHLAN

I’m stubborn, feral, and reckless. So, as you can imagine, I couldn’t resist the invitation to join an elite mercenary group, no matter their history.

I’ve sold myself to a similar agency once before; this wouldn’t be any different—two sides to the same messed up coin.

Derek, on the other hand, is relentless. Following me like a shadow that I can’t seem to escape. Everywhere I turn, he’s right there waiting for me.

I was naive to assume that I could resist a temptation as intoxicating as him.

DEREK AVERY

The CIA has Dean and I chasing down a lead for Anathema.

An unhinged group of mercenaries-for-hire who are hell-bent on controlling and destroying the world.

Coming up empty-handed, we have to enlist the help of a third party to complete our assignment, and I want nothing to do with him; I’d much rather bury him six feet under instead.

Alexis has made it abundantly clear that she hates me, and I thrive on every second of it.

She thinks she can resist me and my advances, but she’ll be sorely mistaken.

She’s a challenge waiting to be won, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make her mine.

ANATHEMA

Corruption is power, and we have enough to paint this city red.

While heroes bask in the glory of their triumphs, we bathe in the blood of our victims.

Trained to destroy everything you love, our souls bleed as black as the night.

The promise of revenge fuels my objective.

Let me show you how deep the rabbit hole truly goes.
