This is E. Baileu's "At Your Mercy." It's the fourth and final novel in their Twisted Desires series.
["Ronan Craig was trained to be a weapon—beautiful, ruthless, and lethal. At twenty-nine, he’s perfected the art of seduction, using his body to lure countless men to their deaths. His latest mark should’ve been easy, or so his handler said. But Wesley Cohen isn’t like the others. One short night, and suddenly, Ro finds that he isn’t in control anymore. Wesley is.
When he meets Ro, Wes sees a dangerously pretty assassin whom he intends to teach precisely what it means to kneel at the feet of an older, stronger man.
Their twisted game of cat and mouse quickly becomes something darker, hotter, and far more dangerous than either expected. For every moment of heat, there’s the reminder: one of them was sent to kill the other.
And when desire turns into obsession, someone will end up on their knees—for mercy, or for blood."]
Another dark romance I was waiting for, another book I held off on because of the angst. This one was cliched in the assassin meets target kinda way, but it stood it's own in all other ways. It was dangerous and addicted and tragic and beautiful. It was uplifting and freeing and obsessive. It was spicy and devastating. It was everything.
This story in general didn't go as I thought it would. It was more devastating than I had ever imagined. Ro had gone through soooo much, some of which he's only processing now. It almost broke Wes, just seeing pictures of things, let alone knowing the exact details. But Ro is a fighter, a survivor, and he deserves every good thing Wes spoils him with and more.
Trigger Warnings: suicidal ideation, trauma, depression, victim of human trafficking and abuse, murder, torture, kidnapping, gun play, dub-con, and more.
