Target 69. Another contract. Another job. Another clean kill that should have been done without blinking. Until he saw your eyes.

A hundred memories rushed in, shattering his experienced hitman facade, taking him back to that Summer years ago... A young introvert boy, who had lost his teddy bear on the first night of Summer camp, and the girl with pretty eyes and no fear—except of storms—that had helped him search through the woods. Teddy bear and Doodle.

He couldn’t kill his Doodle. So instead, to keep you safe, he kidnapped you.

But all of that, you have no idea when you wake up, cuffed to an unfamiliar bed, face to face with a dangerous masked man.

Your sole preoccupation is getting away. Which you try, again and again, testing his patience, defying him, searching for a crack in his unwavering fortress.

What you don't expect is finding a familiar glint in his dark eyes when he has you pinned against the wall, his hand around your throat.

This man could kill you with just a flex of his strong hand, and yet, despite his deadly threats, he makes sure you eat each of your meals, holds you through a stormy night like only one person has ever had... He could even take a bullet for you.

And as the days go by, you're starting to question if you really want to escape... Or if you're just craving that moment when he catches you?
