Riordan Darcy has spent the last 14 years building a name for himself as a notorious assassin. He travels the world taking the lives of some of the worst humanity has to offer, leaving his signature on every victim.  

Riordan becomes unhappy and withdrawn from the world after a job goes horribly wrong, and he makes the decision to get out of the life he was forced into so long ago. When his meddling older sister gives him a birthday gift that's impossible to refuse, his plans to leave his life of crime take a backseat when he's forced to protect the life of a veritable stranger.  

When professional hugger and TLC provider Teddy Harris is offered a month-long companionship contract, he's hard pressed to turn it down. Cuddler by day and a video game reviewer by night, Teddy's need to make people feel loved and cared for is what drives him. When he meets Riordan Darcy, professional challenge and personal temptation collide, making it nearly impossible for him to endure a whole month with the gorgeous, enigmatic man without falling head over heels in love.  

When a mole is discovered within Riordan's organization, relationships are compromised, and people's lives are in danger. Time isn't on their side, and they discover answers can't always be found by hugging it out when someone is hell-bent on eliminating each and every one of them. 

Can Riordan and Teddy survive long enough to fall in love, or will they die trying?  

Contains mature themes.
