[The Musical Interlude 03] • The Dark Duet

Nikolai Belikov doesn't believe in happy

endings, or the possibility of finding acceptance in others who can understand his

darkness and the way he craves revenge--until he meets Alese, a woman as drawn

to the shadows and lost in her past as Nikolai himself. Their paths crossed once

before in another lifetime, and the two strangers were forged together by the

whim of a madman.

And then Alese vanished. Forgotten. Until now...

Fresh on the heels of recovering from heartache caused by his best friend's sister,

Nikolai plunges into his greatest relief-- revenge. For the pain caused him by

his family, he decides they must all be punished. To do so, he leaves his old

world behind, forging a new one as an employee of the man who enslaved him

years ago. But Alese--after having her mind wiped by the man who hired Nikolai--suffers

from amnesia and holds the key to evidence Nikolai needs in order to succeed.

Having no other choice, Nikolai agrees to train

Alese as a negotiator, a hitman who decides the ultimate fate of others. He not

only tries to get her to recall her past--because she will be the key to

destroying his former enemies--but he also vows to protect her from Rudolph

Burkenstein, the man who wants to see her dead.

But Alese is a light in the darkness that Nikolai has refused to let inside the

shadows of his soul. After several months of training, he finds himself

struggling with his quest for revenge, and his growing feelings for Alese--because

he knows that loving her, means giving up on his plight.

Will their love thrive inside the light, or will darkness consume everything

they've fought to achieve?
