Like a Thief in the Night

She's a heartless assassin; he's an immortal thief. In another life, they would have been lovers. In this one, he's her target and she's his prize.

A Strangers in the Night story.

Death comes like a thief in the night. For reclusive thief Sevastien Aniketos, death comes in the form of slinky assassin Arden Black. But Aniketos has a surprise for his would-be assassin--he is immortal. And he is about to turn the tables on the pragmatic femme fatale.

Arden finds more than she bargained for when she sneaks through the window of Aniketos's glass penthouse to take his life. The immortal thief is no victim; he's a clever strategist who has set his sights on capturing the lethal lady and making her his own.

Trapped with a man she cannot kill, Arden slowly succumbs to Aniketos's scheme of seduction, ceding her secrets, her loyalty, and eventually her heart. But when Arden's wicked past catches up with her, Aniketos is faced with a choice.

An endless life without Arden, or a paltry mortal lifespan with the woman he is increasingly sure he cannot live without.
