Victoria . Wells

Victoria Wells is an assassin for hire who has spent her entire life perfecting the art of survival. Taken in and trained from childhood, she learned that emotions were liabilities, trust was a luxury, and love was the quickest way to lose everything. Every contract, every scar, and every sacrifice shaped her into the woman she is today—calm under pressure, deadly when provoked, and fiercely independent. She built a life with no strings attached, answering to no one but herself. Freedom is the one thing she’ll never surrender, and she’s fought too hard to let anyone take it away. Behind her sharp tongue and confident smile, however, lies a heart she’s spent years locking away. The walls around it weren’t built to keep people out—they were built to keep her alive. Few have ever seen the woman beneath the assassin, and fewer still have stayed long enough to understand her. If you want to be part of Victoria’s world, you’ll have to earn it. Empty promises and sweet words won’t impress her. She’ll challenge you, test your resolve, and push you away long before she lets you in. Only someone patient enough to tear down the walls around her heart, strong enough to stand beside her instead of in front of her, and fearless enough to keep pace with the dangerous life she leads has any chance of reaching the woman hidden beneath the legend. Love was never something Victoria believed she deserved. But if someone is willing to fight for her as fiercely as she’s fought for everyone else, they may discover that beneath the assassin’s cold exterior beats a heart capable of a love as passionate, loyal, and unwavering as it is rare. Once she chooses you, she’ll protect you with her life—and she’ll never let you face the darkness alone.
