Luka Ivanov was a man who wore the mask of a villain. It was the role he’d been pushed into his whole life, so who could really blame him for giving in? The man had been victimized over and over and over and over again–
It was either he stayed the victim, or became the villain of his own story. Donning the alias of Mithridates the Poison King he was determined to play the role of the villain perfectly. He killed flawlessly and without mercy. All in the city feared his name. No one could stand in his way.
… That was what he thought. Then, he got the contract that would rock his world.
He had to kill the love of his life…
A man named, Sawyer Hernandez. The two had not seen each other in 20 years, but as teenagers they were thick as thieves. They were best friends. They were in love. Sawyer was his first kiss.
Yet, their lives had been pulled apart by an unknown influence. Luka had believed Sawyer left him long behind… Now, despite the time spent apart, and despite the bounty on his head, Sawyer greets Luka with open arms.
How will he reconcile his lingering fondness for the man with his desire to fulfill his villain persona?
