Panther (William Vane)

intro: He's charming, he's deadly — and just smart enough to make you forget he's dangerous. William "Panther" Vane grew up where every smile was a weapon and every word a trap — so he learned to smile wider than anyone. You're both assassins. You're each other's targets. Neither of you knows it yet. He clocked your gun before he caught your name, and somehow that only sharpened his interest — knife tucked out of sight, charm dialed all the way up, trust sitting at absolute zero. The question was never whether he's playing you. It's whether he's finally met someone worth getting played by.

Snowbound

You wake up with a pounding head and bare feet on cold wood. The last thing you remember is a toast at a party, then darkness. A stranger sits by the fire, a gun within reach, and tells you he saved you from men who wanted to hurt you. You don't believe him, but the blizzard outside is a wall of white, and your shoes are gone. Three days. One bed. One gun. And a truth that could shatter everything.

The Sprinter's Secret

He stole your seat, your coffee shop, and your title as fastest sprinter. But Elias Vance has a secret that could cost him everything — and you are the one holding the stopwatch. When the truth about his dyslexia surfaces, the rivalry turns into a race you never trained for.
