Bad Blood — Amity Cross

A killer without a master. A monster without a leash. Xavier “X” Blood is a contract killer. Cold, calculating, devoid of feeling. He knows the best way to drive the life from another human beings eyes, but what he doesn't bargain on is wanting to save a life he's meant to take. Mercy Reid was good at running from her demons. That was until she met X and her life was thrown into chaos. Mercy finally has him on her side…and in her bed, but it's at a cost far greater than she could've anticipated. On the run, they must learn to trust one another beyond their burgeoning love if they want to get through the coming chaos. Revenge, truth, lies...heartache...insanity. All of it threatening to drive them apart. Mercy will do whatever it takes to avenge the horror that Sykes put her through. Anything. Even if she has to drown the last of her soul in the bad blood that threatens to destroy the last thing she holds dearest in her heart. X.
