I knew the minute I saw him that Levi Agozi was too perfect to be real. I didn't care. He came to me, asked for me, and, dazzled by his dark good looks and the bad-boy aura surrounding him, I gave in. Willingly.
My father is set to become the next governor of Georgia, and he'll use me to get there if he has to. He'll hand me over, virginity and all, to the man with the biggest bank account and political pull.
I wanted something more. I wanted Levi. And I had himâuntil I woke up, disoriented and confused, at his mercy. Heâs a bad boy, all right. A sexy, deadly assassin. And I'm the pawn torn between him and my father, two powerful men intent on destroying each other. I might not understand their war, but I do understand one thing: no matter who wins, I lose.

3.5 Heart Review by Ashley
I was pumped to dive into Assassin's Mark after finishing the prequel of this series. But I don't exactly know how I feel about this one. Yes, it had the drama and danger and intensity as the first book but I found myself wanting more.I liked the different sides of Levi that I got to witness. The protector. The worrier. The marksman. The lover. The brother. It was really the slower, quieter moments between him and Abby that showed how complex of a man he was. He was more than his job. More than he saw himself as. Luckily Abby saw it and was going to set about to prove it to him. Whether he liked it or not. I had a few issues with Abby. Yes, she had lived a sheltered life, but her thought process and actions at times (more than a handful) were quite juvenile. However, I liked how much she grew from the start of this one to the end. Her eyes were opened to the reality of what she was to her father, her only family. And the stand she took to try and set things straight showed a boldness that she didn't even know she possessed. With danger and steam and family and scheming, Assassin's Mark was pretty addictive. Ella Sheridan is onto the start of something good with this series, I just think it needs a little more polishing up. And while Levi and Abby's story will be continuing (though this isn't a cliffy), I still wanted a little more from the ending. That being said, I am looking forward to seeing what's in store for the Agozi brothers.
Excerpt
âGet your ass outside right this minute, Abigail, and wait for Charlie to arrive. I wonât have you shaming this family.â
I was bringing shame to our family? Me? My father expected me to marry for his convenience, for the good of his political career, but I was the shameful one? I squeezed down on the cell, the sound of plastic creaking in protest satisfying something inside me that ached to burst free. Too bad I wasnât strong enough to pulverize the damn thing.
And yet, a large part of me believed him. Always had. After all, if I wasnât shameful, he would love me, right?
No. Wrong. Youâre not going to let that bastard poison you anymore, Abby.
I wasnât the Hulk, able to crush a cell phone with a single twitch of my fingers, but I was strong enough to drop it into the trash can full of wet paper towels and walk out of the bathroom without looking back. In the hall, the sight of Levi leaning against the wall, obviously waiting, hands stuffed into his pockets, brought me to an abrupt stop. My mouth went dry. Iâd spent my life trying to please a man, and look where that had gotten me.
I was already bringing shame to the Roslyn name; maybe I should embrace the role instead of letting my fatherâs words cut me to pieces.
I moved closer. One side of Leviâs mouth tilted up, and he wrapped those big hands around my hips the minute I came within reach. A gravelly rumble escaped him, sinking beneath my skin and sending shivers to the deepest part of my being. Heavy-lidded eyes devoured me, shouting a desire I found hard to believe, but it was there nonetheless. Hunger. Pleasure. That look sent a surge of desperation so strong through me that I couldnât speak if Iâd wanted to.
Itâs now or never, Abby.
I didnât stop or slow. I moved into his space until my body was pressed firmly against his, lifted my chin, and met the lips that lowered to mine.

She owns a piece of me I wouldn't take back, but the rest? The only way to protect her is to hold back the parts inside me that are too ugly to ever reveal. I'll keep her safe, even from me.
And it works. We have the nights, and I hunt my way through the days. Alone.
Until an attack reveals a threat we didn't see coming. One that could take away the dream I didn't realize I had.
Everything. With her.
I'm on the hunt of my life. My prey might run, but in this fightâfor her, for usâthey don't stand a chance.
