About this ebook
Her life or his?
When Astrid Mickelson found out the man she loved was The Dispatcher—a government operative, who kills for a living without remorse—she left to stop herself from accidentally betraying him. However, Orlando Darke, the only man she’s ever wanted, is impossible to forget, and it seems once more back in her life.
For his part, the Dispatcher had never forgotten the love of his life. When he is sent to bring her in for being a traitor, he does what he does best...dispatching her to safety, to enable him to find the real culprit.
As the threat thickens, so does the sexual tension between them. But can there be a happily ever after in their future?

Chapter One
Darke—no one called him by his first name, Orlando, unless they had a death wish—cleared his throat pointedly. Is this meditation session over yet? Because I have things to do, places to go, and people to torture.
Crabtree, his … his what? Overseer? Mentor? Boss or nemesis? No not that. The fucking idiot who tried, and never succeeded to control him—thankfully—looked up at him, his face sallow. A thin line of stubble over his chin showed that Darke turning up at 5am hadn’t given him time to shave. Compared to Darke, dressed in his usual black t-shirt and navy denim jeans, he looked somewhat disreputable and at a disadvantage. That worked in Darke’s favor, as Crabtree hated not to be smart and allegedly in control of any given situation.
Which was precisely why Darke had appeared in Crabtree’s bedroom at 4.58am and shook him awake.
Above his head a fly buzzed, and a hissing sizzle sounded as it met its end on the insect killer. Darke scowled and watched the corpse drop to the floor at his feet, and kicked it toward the skirting board. However often you got rid of the nasties there was always another one to take its place. Human or insect. If only killing those he had to dispatch could be so easy.
You did well,
Crabtree said, grudgingly, a look of what—Darke wasn’t sure; with Crabtree it was sometimes difficult to tell—on his face. It could be admiration or fear. Permanently dispatched?
Crabtree asked.
Darke shook his head. Nope. My way, remember. I am what you demand of me.
He was the one not to be named. Never to be mentioned or even thought about, and he admitted he pushed that situation for all it was worth. He was simply The Dispatcher.
His heart skipped a beat as he looked at the sheet of paper in front of him and almost dropped it.
What the fuck? He scanned the writing again. It said what he thought it did. This was personal, and Darke could see no happy ending.
Godalmighty, Crabtree has dropped me right in it. Damned if I do, damned if I don’t. Hellfire and bollocks. The few lines seared his retina, scarred his soul, if he had one, and made him want to kill whoever made the fabrication up.
Suspected traitor:
Fiona Jane Michaels.
Aged 28.
Details on next sheet.
What the? Astrid? AKA one-time Fiona. Never. A woman who had no idea what she was, why she was, and what to do about it. Apart from love me.
Fuck again.
The prisoner?
Crabtree said diffidently. Is what?
Dispatched to the island.
Darke wrenched his mind away from his next … next what? Target? Victim? To the last. He deserves to suffer, don’t you think?
It didn’t bother Darke that he was, to all intents and purposes, a cold-blooded killer who showed no remorse. Someone had to do the dirty work and it might as well be him as anyone else. It didn’t stop him sleeping at night, he didn’t glory in what he did, or get his rocks off on it, he just got on with the job, and moved forward. Or he had up until that moment. He swore long and silently. Dispatcher? That was now a joke. What the fucking fuck?
Darke lit a new Gitane Brune—sans filtre—from the stub of the apology of a cigarette Crabtree had offered him, before he deliberately opened the window, and placed a very large ashtray in front of Darke.
The prisoner,
Darke mused. Are you now of the persuasion he was a poor misguided man with a sad childhood?
Darke’s tone told Crabtree what
