What the Raven Kept

She was sent to kill him. He already knew her name.

Aoife Moylan doesn't leave witnesses. She doesn't get close. The contract is clean, anonymous, and pays more than it should - so she takes it, no questions asked.

She finds him bleeding out on his own floor.

Ronan Ó Fiaich is supposed to be a ghost - a rumor with a body count and a security empire larger than most governments. But when he looks up at her, dying, he says her real name like it already belongs to him.

For two years, he has been watching her. Protecting her. Quietly rewriting the edges of her life from a distance she never knew existed.

What began as a debt repaid became obsession. What became obsession became the only thing he has ever wanted - and refused to take.

Now, as old enemies close in and a blood debt twenty-two years in the making finally comes due, Aoife has to decide: walk away from the man who has been keeping her in the shadows, or stay - and risk becoming the one thing he can no longer control.

Some debts are paid in blood. Others are paid in surrender.
