Death and Roses — T.J. Michaels

Death -- so skilled, grown men cry at her approach.
Roses -- so sweet, she enchants ther senses.
Scharsi -- for one man, an unbelievably sexy combination of the two.

The Amalgamation is the definition of evil in her world. Scharsi has spent years hiding from them. Now she must hunt the agent who killed the only man who ever loved her. Nobody will stop her.

Tanil, an Amalgamation officer left for dead by his own crew, must avoid capture. On the run, wounded and weak, he comes upon the one woman in the 'verse he should be running from. But Scharsi isn't what the government claims she is -- a born and bred killer. Deadly? Absolutely…but addictive, hot. She makes his skin sizzle and sends his blood racing with a look. Her touch? Devastating. He wants her, needs her.

Scharsi doesn't have time for distractions while on a hunt, but Tanil won't hesitate to prove that a bit of delicious distraction is just what she needs.
