Declan Archer is a trained assassin with no emotional ties or complications. But his life is about to change forever when a brother he never knew he had, finds him, and a woman he has only dreamt of shows him that emotional ties can be seductively sweet. Santana’s a determined woman trying to survive in a harsh world. As a young girl, she was burdened with the responsibility of caring for her stepbrother, Connor. Resigned to never fall in love, Santana focuses on making life easier for her and her stepbrother. That is until she encounters a mysterious stranger who makes her question her feelings. Too bad that she will never see him again─or so she thinks. When Connor finds a mysterious picture of a brother he never knew he had. He and Santana will find themselves pulled into the shadowy world of the Confradia, and series of events that will change their lives forever.

The Assassin's Blood: The Confradia Assassins III Chapter 33: Epilogue
EpilogueDeclan“Damn it, Connor! Why is there pizza sauce all over my laptop?” Connor peaks behind the office’s door, his face set in repentance. “Sorry, man, I was eating a slice when Hunter called and asked me to look up some data.” Giving him a withering glare, I wipe my keyboard and look back at the screen. “Where’s your sister?”Connor takes a seat in one of my office chairs and waves his hand above his head. “She’s out shopping for Sophia and Micah’s wedding present.” Exhaling deeply, I lean back in my chair and look at my brother. It’s been almost a year since Santana and I moved in together. Though Connor moved into a dorm, he still spends most of his time around our apartment. I can’t say it hasn’t been great because it has. After some work, Connor and I convinced Santana to hold off on working and attend school full-time. Because of that, she’ll be graduati

Santana“Wake up, sleepyhead.” I blink my eyes open to see my brother sitting next to me on the bed. “Hey? How did I get here?” I gaze down at my blanket-covered body, confused. Connor takes my hand and leans close to me with a proud grin. “We’re back in Priest’s garage. Declan carried you up here and tucked you into the bed.” I bite my lip and take a deep breath. “How long have I been asleep?” Connor smirks. “Almost two days, Sleeping Beauty. Priest said to let you sleep. The drug that crazy old witch gave you was still metabolizing through your system. Declan and Priest told me you were a total badass. That they didn’t have to save you because you were about to break out of that place on your own.”Sliding up on the bed, I lean back on the headboard with a bemused sigh. “Yeah, it was scary, but I didn’t have a choice.” Connor’s lip quirks. “I’m so glad yo

DeclanPriest and I arm up as Connor and Hunter attempt to hack into Perroni’s computer system. Thankfully, whoever took Santana didn’t disable her GPS, so we were able to track her. He must have not counted on the fact that Santana knew professional Assassins. And even though Connor is computer savvy, I’m sure they assumed he’d be lost or dead in the woods. Criminals can be so stupid sometimes.Once Hunter had her coordinates, we made our way to upstate New York until we were in front of a mansion in the middle of nowhere. Using our binoculars, we scope out the structure. We watch as a vehicle winds its way up the driveway. A man in a suit steps out of the vehicle and approaches the door. “This is where they must be holding the auction,” I mutter to the others.Priest takes another look and nods. “Yeah, and the man who just stepped out of that vehicle is Christoph Kazik.” I turn back to the house and take another

SantanaI don’t know where I am. I look around the empty, darkened room and pull my messy hair behind my ear. My body aches from being dragged, and my knees sting. There’s dried blood on them and on my bare feet. I must have lost my flats while they dragged me around. I’m alone, but I can hear male voices outside the door. I struggle against my bonds and slide across the barren floor, trying to decipher what they are saying but scurry back as soon as the door opens. Two men step inside. One of them is Perroni, and the other one is the one that dragged me out of the bus.Perroni smirks as he takes in my haggard appearance and squats down in front of me. “Hello, Santana. Surprised to see me?” He asks with a mocking sneer. I don’t respond. There’s no point because I know he’s playing with me. “I heard Connor got away. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it very far.” My heart skips with terror as I sit up and loo

DeclanI watch my brother and Santana step into the bus with a hollow feeling in my stomach. Every part of me objects to the idea of letting them go. Biting my lip, I pucker my mouth and tighten my fists around my cell phone. The look on Connor’s face as he walked away was nearly crippling, but it was worse to see Santana’s resigned yet disappointed expression. She hates me, and I don’t blame her. I’m a coward who let her shoulder the responsibility of caring for my brother without a fight and the man who made love to her with no promises. And even though it was the right thing to do, it still stung to wake up alone in her bed.My body aches from the exertion of trying not to run after them. Before I do something stupid, I turn to my car and drive away. It's the longest, most difficult drive I’ve ever experienced. Rubbing my chest, I swallow hard and inhale deeply, but the ache doesn’t abate. If anything, it feels worse. It gets to t

SantanaIt’s time to leave. This morning I snuck out of my room and spent most of the day trying to avoid Declan. I didn’t go back into the room until I knew he was gone. After our intense lovemaking, I figured it would be best if I left things as they were. Unlike me, Connor made every effort to be in Declan’s presence. He has always been the more forgiving of us. When I asked him, he told me it would be a waste of time to be angry at Declan, considering nothing would change. He’d rather savor every last minute he had with his brother. I figure that I’d let him have this, even if I didn’t agree with Declan’s easy disposal of his brother. I even let Connor ride shotgun on the way to the bus stop. There’s no point in having any further contact with Declan. It would just add to my sadness, and I’ve had enough sadness in my life.Once I left the bed, I went to the bathroom, cried a little, and gave myself a pep talk. W

Declan“You didn’t tell me that Connor’s sister was so beautiful.” My mother says in a conversational tone. However, I know her better than that, and I can tell that she wants to know if I’m interested in Santana. I don’t react, opting to keep my face expressionless before I respond. “Yes, she is. I didn’t know that it mattered.” Seeing that I’m not giving anything away, she deflates back in her seat with a sigh. “That’s too bad that she’s leaving, but maybe it’s for the best. I meant what I said about Connor; the boy looks just like you at eighteen. You must be relieved that you don’t have to deal with them for much longer.” I look at my mother from the corner of my eyes, trying to gauge her purpose, but she keeps a neutral expression.My thoughts return to the fact that Santana and Connor plan to leave. It was definitely unexpected, and I don’t know how to feel about

Santana“Hey, sis, where’s Declan?” Connor asks the moment I step through the office door. I shake my head and take a seat in one of the comfortable cushioned chairs. “I don’t know. What’s up?” Connor shrugs. “Just getting some things settled. Did you eat?” I nod my head. “Yeah, I ate.” Connor smiles in contentment and goes back to his computer. The kid is one-track-minded for sure. Rising from the chair, I pace around the room and turn back to him. “So, I was thinking. We still have a few dollars in the savings account and Alva’s ring. Since there’s nothing left here for us, I thought maybe we can start over again somewhere else.”Connor’s brows quirks with surprise. “What do you mean?” I take a deep breath before I reply. “I mean, maybe we can take a bus somewhere and find a new town to live in. One of my high school friends, Dana, is a physical therapist

Declan“You’re a selfish bastard, you know that?” Priest startles me from my thoughts as I watch Santana walk away. Once she’s out of sight, I turn to the living room doorway and come face-to-face with him. “I have no other choice, Priest.” He shakes his head and turns back to the stairs. However, it doesn’t stop him from casting one last stone. “Is that what your father said to your mother before he left you? Would it have made you both happier if he gave your mother money? Because to be honest, even though you’re an ass, it seems that Connor and Santana are shortchanging themselves for simply wanting you.”My stomach plummets with bile remembering how painful it was when my father walked away from us. I know that it would have hurt me if he’d just give my mother money and pretended that I didn’t exist. I should be happy that Santana and Connor want me to be part of their family, but

Chapter 1: Outlaw
Declan – A year agoThe cell phone slams against the wall with a loud crack. “Wow, Outlaw. What the fuck?” I turn to Hunter with an angry scowl. “They fucking lost him, Hunter!” His eyebrows scrunch up in question. “What? Who?” I point to the now broken cell phone lying listlessly on the abandoned warehouse’s floor. “That was Cameron. Reaper and Savage had Kazik, but the bastard somehow escaped before they could take him. That’s why that motherfucker, Christoph, was not in this shitty-ass Brooklyn warehouse. Our mission has been blown.”Last night one of my contacts informed me that Christoph Kazik would be transporting a new shipment of girls. Everything was planned. We were going to swoop in and save those girls, but now everything is ruined.“We planned his capture, and the asshole somehow knew. Now, here we are with our dicks in our hands in the middle of nowhere.” I croak out angr...
