We were supposed to run away after graduation.
When she didn't show at our meeting place, I got brave and went after her.
It was a mistake.
I left bloodied and bruised.
I had no choice but to walk away.
Years passed.
I traveled, settled halfway around the world,
made enough money that I didn't have to look back.
But I never got over her.
Then, out of the blue, she calls.
And, what she asks for, the favor that she wants?
I never thought I'd be willing to take a life.
But the truth is, and always has been: I'd do anything for her.
Book one of three in the final trilogy in the Dirty Universe.
