Closer Than You Think by Taura King

My vocation is death. I’m a skilled killer trained by circumstance and bloodlust. I take lives with a flick of my wrist. I never feel guilty when I do my job. In fact, I feel euphoric.

The most dangerous men in the world hire me to be even more dangerous than they are. They pay me handsomely, not knowing I’d do it for free. Not knowing I crave it. That I’d kill just as easily as I take my first breath in the morning.
I’m evil. Plain and simple.
There’s not a single thing good about me.
Except her.
And she doesn’t even know it.
But she will, soon enough.
