Good Cop, Bad Cop
Zephyr, daughter of Mercy Gold and Luke King, forges her own path as an elite assassin. Despite being a CEO, like her parents, she also happens to be a very good lawyer. Queen of the Underground, she’s neck deep in shady crap, but she has her own set of morals and never crosses her set lines. She knows what she wants and she goes directly for it. Shameless and brazen, she’s the world’s best lawyer. But those two traits can only get her so far before she has to realize that it’s okay to slow down sometimes.
Raphael Robinson is Deputy Chief of the Police Force. His father is the Chief. Raphael is a calm, patient, and extremely moral man. He’s very good at his job. But when he gets assigned to find the Queen of the Underworld, does he take it? Yes! Of course! The rumors were that the old Queen stepped down for her daughter, but will looking for the new Queen be any easier?
Nope!
However, Raphael will not give up.
When Zephyr falls head over heels for the man pursuing her criminal identity, what does she do? She helps him of course! Leading him in circles while slowly making him fall in love with her! The perfect plan!
But with people and hidden organizations targeting both their families, do these two have time to find themselves? Find the threats not just around them... but in them? With a prophecy hanging over Zephyr’s head, and partial will taken from Raphael.... Let’s just say it won’t be easy...
***
A shadow...
An assassin...
Eyes cold as ice and glacier-blue...
Swift movements atop buildings...
Jumping...
Running...
Ready.
One person defined as many things. Merciful not among the list.
Through the alleys, a man was running...
Panting...
Praying...
Caught.

“Well,” Zephyr said, smiling, “all it took was an accident and some amnesia, but you finally fell for me.”
Raphael sighed, smiling as well. “Yes, and I promise I’ll never leave you.”
“Oh, I’m not worried about that,” she said, walking towards him. “I’d be worried about what happens when I catch you TRYING.”
