GUN DOWN

 “Don’t play with me, because you’ll just be a game in your own game,”

Those words linger in my head whenever I think of Avery. Her smile and beautiful face keep distracting me. God forbid, but I love this woman, and I’m ready to cross the line just to make her mine.

I am Father Nicholas Constantine, also known as Spade. I am a former cold-blooded CIA agent who became a parish priest, yet I remain determined to cleanse the crime in my community. That led me to join a secret group of assassins who share the same motives as I do. And then, when everything is over, I will take my full pledge as a priest, but everything falls apart.

I blame myself for my suspension after killing a man who was not on our list, a mistake that forced me to take a break. I flew to Bali, where I met the woman who robbed me—Avery. After our one-night encounter, her smile and beauty never left my mind.

Then one day, my suspension was lifted. I was given a new assignment: find the wife of a wealthy businessman. The order was clear. Shoot to kill.

I discovered that the woman I was searching for was Avery. Torn between loyalty to my duty and my growing attraction to her, I made a choice. I demanded to know why someone wanted her dead. Her life depended on her answer.  I kidnapped her.

Yet her lips, which I couldn’t resist, and her mesmerizing eyes told me there was more to the story. Instead of turning her in, I chose to hide and protect her.

To my shock, the one who ordered her death was her own husband. When he realized I had failed him, his rage was merciless. The new order was clear: find us and kill us both.

How long can I fight the tide of this forbidden love?

Will I protect the woman I love against all odds, or return to fulfill my duty as a disciple of God?

When my gun is raised, nothing can stop me, but when my gun is down, no one can stop us.

Join me and Avery, bound by love and fueled by danger, where the pull of a trigger alone decides our fate.
