Riordan becomes unhappy and withdrawn from the world after a job goes horribly wrong and he makes the decision to get out of the life he was forced into, so long ago.

Finally working for a man he can trust has given Bill a new purpose. His boss, Christopher Manos, commands respect and absolute loyalty, and Bill has proven himself worthy of a seat at Christopher's table. Becoming best friends with Christopher's husband, Snow, has further proven his allegiance and cements a place for him in the Manos family. When Snow's life is in danger, Christopher places his full trust in Bill to destroy anything and anyone that poses a threat to his husband. But hunting and wiping out the enemy for the safety of everyone Bill cares about means partnering with the one person he has vowed to never see again. Mace wears a mask of vain cockiness and uses his model good looks to his full advantage. Known to many as Without a Trace Mace, he's a deadly assassin well known for wiping out whole families and getting away without a trace. With a dangerous past and an unknown future, Mace uses his veil of conceit to keep others at a distance, rarely trusting anyone. When his boss, Black-the one man he trusts above all others-gives him his next assignment, he learns his newest partner is none other than Bill, the man he'd do anything to avoid. Contains mature themes.

A product of his past, Black spends half his time saving lives and the other half taking them. Every day, a hard choice must be made and he's the man to make it. Long ago, he vowed to never love again; one-night stands with a willing body was all he ever needed. But along came Quill, and Black's life is irrevocably changed. He never expects something as simple as Quill's persistence to alter the way he not only sees the world, but how he lives it. Quill has bad taste in men and equally horrible luck. Growing up wasn't easy, surviving is even harder. When his past and present collide, he's convinced he'll finally witness his own destruction. But when an unlikely antihero steps in to protect him, his life is turned on its head. He's spent months flirting with the man of his dreams and hoping he'd take notice. But it turns out, being on Black's radar isn't all it's cracked up to be, and his idea of protection varies greatly from Quill's. Unknowingly sharing the same goal-burying their own pasts deeper than the fires of hell can reach-they're both unaware that jumping into that fire will do more than ignite their feelings, it could lead to their own demise. Contains mature themes.
