Maya Augustine needed to disappear—her life depended on it. When her path led her to the middle-of-nowhere Virginia, she found the perfect place to hide. A woman on the run, Maya had no business befriending anyone, let alone allowing herself to become involved with a man … especially after her last experience. Even so, she couldn’t help but become obsessed with the bruised, battered, and … beautiful killer who walked into her life.
Grady Cain reached rock bottom. His past finally caught up with him, causing him to lose his edge at work and in life. Spiraling down a desperate path of remorse and guilt, Grady wasn’t expecting his refuge to come in the form of a woman. Day in—day out, she was the only thing he’d allowed himself to think about. To focus on. To consume him.
One was running. The other had nothing to run to.
Until these troubled souls crossed paths…
And two paths became one.
Warning: This author is a mom who runs a PG-13 home. This book is not PG-13. She would literally keel over and die if anyone under the age of 18 read this book. If you’re not of age, save this author from her untimely death, and go read about teenage wizards. They’re awesome.

I absolutely love the story of Grady and Maya.
Grady is that perfect grumbling alpha hero (who just happens to be a retired assassin) that you just can’t wait to see fall in love. Maya is the damsel in distress but don’t be fooled into thinking she’s incapable of taking care of herself. She may not be tough as nails, but she’s no wilting flower either. Together they lit up the pages of my kindle with so much humor, steam and emotion I could feel the book hangover before I ever reached the end. I mean, how do you possibly find something satisfactory to read after this?
The characters from Vines were back, along with a snuggling cow, as well as new characters of the senior citizen variety that I absolutely loved! There was just enough tension created by the bad guy to keep this story moving without overwhelming it and I was satisfied by the ending.
Now I could get into what this story is all about, but really, you’ve just gotta read it! The blurb will tell you enough. If you’ve read anything else by this author then you know she’s one you can trust. If not, what the heck have you been waiting for?
P.S. I suddenly have a craving for Molten Chocolate Cake…hmmm
Dual POV – with others sprinkled throughout
Safe from cheating
This is my reread of Grady’s story. His character intrigued me in Vines and I was thrilled he got his own story. Maya and Grady’s path wasn’t an easy one but that was perfect for them. Two broken people needed time and each other to heal. Their chemistry had the usual heat I expect from Brynne’s books and I was not disappointed. The right mix of laughs, action and heat made this a one session read for me. Absolutely loved it!
I am crazy excited for Asa’s story which is up next. This series is fast becoming one of my favourites
Grady and Maya
I love Brynne words, she writes the best alpha male and always put him with the best girl. Grady and Maya have great chemistry and they are a great pairing. This story was gripping I didn’t want to put it down. I loved it from the start to the end. There’s something in her story that keeps you reading. I can’t wait for the others in this series, hopefully we get stories on Grady sisters too
OVERFLOW made me fall in love with her. BEAUTIFUL LIFE and ATHICA LANE sealed the deal. Now, with her new KILLERS Series, Brynne Asher is killin’–in a good way–it! With humor, romance, a delicious grumpy turned sweet alpha, action/adventure, and make-sure-to-fan-yourself-because-they-are-HOT scenes . . . Ms. Asher gives you another happily ever after that leaves you with a smile. I LOVED PATHS and can’t wait to read Asa’s story.
