She never expected to come home to find a sniper set up at her apartment window. A calm, ruthless and damn fine man is just about to take out his target in the building across the street… until she interrupts.\n\nJames “Mac” Mackenzie is a hitman with a code—he kills the worst of the worst. No hesitation. No witnesses. But when Eleanor walks in mid-mission, he does something he’s never done before: he lets her live.\n\nAnd then… he starts watching her. Mac tells himself it's precaution. That he's protecting her and his team. But watching quickly becomes obsession when he can’t tear his eyes from her curvy body, can’t stop remembering how she trembled with desire when he had her at his mercy.\n\nWhen Eleanor becomes a loose end the wrong people want tied off, Mac is the only one standing between her and a bullet. But the longer he stays in her life, the harder it is to remember she’s supposed to be afraid—especially as he starts fulfilling every fantasy she’s never told anyone about.\n\nAs Eleanor is pulled deeper into Mac’s violent world, she’ll have to decide: Can she risk loving a man like him?\n\nIn the shadows, right and wrong don’t matter—just how far they’re both willing to go for love.\n\nEyes in the Shadows is the first book in the Hitmen of Ulysses trilogy of dark romantic comedies, and can be read as a standalone with a HEA. It’s filled with dangerous men, moral ambiguity, intense desire and obsession, and the kind of love that could ruin them both.
