Bullet & Blaze - Dangerous Liaisons: An Assassin U Series, #1

Dodging bullets is the easy part...dodging love is lethal. Don't let your first love from years ago turn out to be the assassin who killed your high-profile protectee right under your nose. But that's exactly what happened to me, Special Agent Tessa Daniels. I thought I'd never see my handsome former flame again after he ghosted me years ago. Until now. When I'm assigned to safeguard CEO Elliot Wagner and he ends up mysteriously murdered, I'm driven to track down the killer.
But I'm utterly shocked when the evidence reveals the assassin is none other than Remo Balotelli-the infuriatingly charming ex I swore to forget! Turns out he didn't just ghost me, he became a ghost-a cunning operative for the notorious Assassination University. And I let him slip right through my fingers. Well not this time. I refuse to let Remo evade me again. The game is on as I initiate a relentless pursuit across the globe.
Yet with every near-miss, the chemistry between us ignites. I tell myself I just want to catch him... but my heart knows differently. As a shocking conspiracy surrounding Elliot' death unfolds, I'm forced to partner with the man who makes me simultaneously swoon and see red! Can I trust in the love we once shared? Or is Remo determined to make me the pawn in his deadly game?
