Book Description
Happy, sad - doesn't matter. That was then. This is now. Aydin is tall, good-looking, wealthy, and lives an idyllic life with his gorgeous wife, Allison. It is all a façade. Fresh from SpecOps, they're now freelance operatives, working for the highest bidder. Unfortunately, Allison wants out, and she needs Aydin to come with her - to escape to Colorado and the serenity they've always dreamed about. But before they can act, Aydin's reckless past finally catches up with him; assassins determined to settle old scores have abducted Allison. Growing up in The Program has made Aydin notoriously self-reliant and more than willing to pull the trigger, vowing to find Allison and kill those responsible is easy. Coming full circle with his memories won't be.
