"I am not entirely sure this is appropriate."
Marcus Conall has been with the Brotherhood for more than a handful of decades, so when he learns that the woman he met that night on the streets might be the Slayer, he knows just what to do. With lives at stake the Brotherhood infiltrates the system, again, to bring Aradia to their stronghold, and if necessary, to their Justice. Yet, when he is near her, he finds there is little room for anything but desire.
With the tension building between them, can he look past the heat and see her for what she is? And if not, if his hunger takes control, will she use him to escape?
