Target 45 by Faye Aden

Nineteen year old Axe “Steelshot” Rayn is a ruthless and calculative professional assassin for the Guild, a group of trained killers operating under the disguise of a multi-billion dollar company. He is known for one characteristic and that is his ability to always get the job done.
That is until target 45.

For the first time in forever Axe finds himself unable to shoot his target. So he does the next best thing. He lies about her death to his boss and kidnaps her to protect her, even going through the lengths of changing her identity and starting her life over from scratch. All to keep her safe which isn’t as easy as it sounds. Especially when his captive is stubborn, adamant about going home and Axe fears for his self control when he is around her.

Thrown into a dangerous world of guns, lies, and death Ivy Thorn cannot for the life of her begin to understand why she had gotten herself kidnapped by a boy, who could be the very reason she takes her last breath or the reason that she finally starts to breathe.
