Hawk by Reese Knightley

(Please note *This story was previously released as part of the O’Deadly Night Anthology 2 collection)
Greek God of Erebus – “The personification of darkness and shadow”

An assassin and his mark
A runaway who shouldn’t be underestimated
And a holiday neither of them expected.

It’s Christmas time, but Hawk can’t be worried about that. He has one last job to do and then he can retire. Being an assassin isn’t as glamorous as one might think. Now he’s faced with a choice and a pair of crystal blue eyes. Can he snuff out this last hit and move one? Or will this blond be his downfall?
Skylar Thomas never thought he’d spend the holidays living on the streets, but he’s on the run and he’ll do anything he can to stay alive. When he meets a man known only as Hawk, he doesn’t realize he’s on a collision course that will change his life forever.
