Book Cover & Preview Text
Frightened during his walk, and startled by the unexpected presence of the woman, Artemis felt his predator instinct return. He moved forward to take the package, never taking his eyes from hers. He seemed to be drowning in them. As she grew close he could smell the aroma of her— a mix of roses and female passion. He never saw the small, silver pistol beneath the parcel she held out to him. He raised his arms to take it and jumped only slightly when he felt the bullet enter his heart.
