Retribution — Lauren Landish

Melissa

I spent years shutting myself off from the world, haunted by the tragedies of my past… until Nathan Black comes along.

Tall, built like Adonis, with jet black hair and startling green eyes, he makes me go weak in the knees. He saved me from sure death, and I'm grateful for that. But I want more. I want him.    I've never had a crush before. This desire is stronger than any pull I've ever felt. I've never even been with a man. But I want him to be my first. The way he looks at me, I know he wants me too. But he's holding back. He thinks he'll corrupt me -- that he'll take me to hell with him.   But I'm done with being scared. When I'm with him, nothing else matters. I want him. At any cost.

Nathan

I was a mercenary. A killer for hire.

I used to crave the need to put men in the ground. But I no longer get that rush. I'm empty and hollow from years of spilling blood.   I was just going through the motions. Collecting money and earning my one-way ticket to hell.   But meeting her, everything changed. Her psychotic father wants her dead, and he has no problems killing anyone in his way. But her gorgeous blue eyes beg me to save her and feel me with a desire that I haven't felt in years. But I can't give in. Not yet. I have to save her. From the man that wants her dead. And from the dirty things I want to do to her. **Retribution is a full-length romance with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger!
