Loved by the Hitman

Merrick Ashford had always lived by a strict code, one that left no room for love or vulnerability. A former Navy SEAL, he devoted himself to his career as a hitman, where emotions were a liability. His life was filled with shadows and secrets, each job bringing him closer to the edge, but further away from human connection. The thrill of his work consumed him, leaving little time or inclination to form lasting bonds.

However, everything changes when he crosses paths with someone unexpected. This newcomer disrupts the carefully constructed walls around his heart, igniting a spark he never thought possible. As he grapples with an evolving sense of loyalty and affection, Merrick finds himself at a crossroads, torn between his ruthless profession and the intoxicating promise of love. Facing external threats and his own internal struggles, he must decide if he can embrace this new reality or retreat back into his solitary existence.
