Lauren Cartwright is the soon to be ex-wife of billionaire playboy Zane Cartwright. When she caught him with his pants down - literally - she immediately filed for divorce and walked away. She might have been a small-town girl originally, but he'd made her a society wife and she had learned all the tricks in the book on navigating that stratosphere of vicious and cutthroat deals and dining. Half of his money is hers by rights, but only if she lives long enough to claim it.Noah Lynch is known only as a top businessman whose family business and military defense contracts got him into the DC elite. He rubs elbows with senators, dines regularly with congressmen, and has the ear of the Secretary of Defense. He also has a secret. He's a contract killer. But he doesn't take out just anybody. He's a killer with a conscience. When Zane Cartwright puts out a contract to kill his wife for $30 million, Noah grabs it up. He's met the man. He's also met the woman. While Zane is a selfish prick of a man, Lauren isn't the snobby socialite she pretends. He's not about to let Zane get away with one more selfish act. But will he just take care of Lauren's problem? Or will his interference lead to more than he expected?**Author's Note: This novella was originally published in the Heart of an Alpha anthology for the Alpha Author Event 2020.**
