Camilla aka Meeks and Hosea are both hitmen for hire, who have known each other since childhood...their connection being Camilla’s father. They join forces for a job, which both have doubts about and could prove to be deadly for one, or worse...both. During this time, buried feelings resurface, But will they be strong enough to survive “The Contract?”

I truly enjoy this 💎💎💎💎💎 novella by @authoruntamed and @jcstoryteller. I thought it was the perfect combination of lust, deceit, suspense and murder. I highly recommend it and look forward to reading part 2.

Can't wait for part 2....

Excellent read. The book flowed quickly and was full of action. Although the main characters aren't really good people, I want to see them win. Camilla and Hosea just can't seem to catch a break. Hopefully they'll get their chance at love in book 2. Don't take too long with the follow up

true love and pain

I wish Hosea had told her the truth about her dad when it first happened, I even wish the dad had left her some kind of note explaining his wishes. I hate Meeks found out the way she did without all the information.

First time. Impressed

First time reading from both authors, the action, drama, and the over all flow of the story was good and believable.
