Publisher's Summary
“Contract killer” is a fitting job for a vampire, and it suits Liam just fine. Cast down from the wealth and status of the Sky for taking a human lover, Liam lurks in the poor and pollution-choked Gutter, killing to survive. Between his natural strengths and his Cybernetix mods, no mark has ever escaped him.
Liam’s ex-lover Daniel is the heir to Cybernetix - and its greatest threat. Horrified by people less man than machine and the exploitation of Gutter factory workers, he’d rather destroy Cybernetix than inherit it...if his father doesn’t destroy him first.
Years of anger and a heap of mods have kept Daniel and Liam apart. When Liam is hired to slaughter a man in his glass Sky tower, he walks right into a Daniel-shaped trap. Daniel’s father has betrayed them both, and only by working together can Daniel and Liam survive the coming day. They have no reason to trust each other, but as the dawn looms, a bargain that began with the simple urge to live soon reminds them of the love they once shared. Can they find each other again, or will the Cybernetix assassins find them first?

Great mix of sci-fi, PNR and suspense!
Loved this!!! When vampire / hitman-for-hire Liam Lansing is offered a termination contract on his ex-boyfriend, Daniel Harding, by his father and head of the Cybernetix Corporation, Richard Harding, Liam jumps at the chance to settle old scores. Only when Liam attempts to execute the contract, he finds that he and Daniel have both been set up and not even his nanobot modifications (mods) can free him. Can Liam and Daniel set aside their differences and survive? I thoroughly enjoyed this short action romance (73 pp, 2.5 hrs on audio). Told from Liam’s POV, the world building was interesting without being overwhelming, the action was compelling, and I liked the combination of the second-chance and enemies-to-lovers tropes. This is the first of two books so there’s some HFN closure. I wouldn’t call it a cliffhanger but the overarching storyline is obviously not resolved here. Audio narrator Nick J Russo is always excellent and he did a great job here.
