Blurb: When Beck accepted a job working for the council full-time, he did it to be close to Roark. After so many years apart, he was looking forward to bonding with his best friend again. He gets more than he’d bargained for when he finds his mate as soon as he steps into the house the council assassins live in.
Armand went through what all the assassins went through—he was taken from his life and his family, locked in a lab, and experimented on. The result is that he can become any person he wants to become. It might be an asset when it comes to his job as a council assassin, but it makes it hard to remember who he is.
Beck doesn’t want to push Armand, not when it’s obvious Armand is struggling. But when Armand is sent on a mission and doesn’t come back, Beck lies to the other assassins and tells them he and Armand are bonded to get them to rescue his mate. They save him, but his mission has consequences for a lot of people—including Beck. Will Armand be able to open up to his mate? What will happen when someone shoots Beck, pushing Armand to take care of things by himself?

Review: Each book in the Council Assassin’s collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This story is a branch off of Whitedell Pride, Gillham Pack and Council Enforcers so I would start with those first.
Armand’s story was a bit harder to figure out in certain parts but he had been held captive and experimented on. The problem was that he had been human and now could change into any human he needed to. He comes off a bit cold and heartless but it is the exact opposite. He is afraid to get his hopes up and get hurt. Now here was a shifter who was claiming that he was his mate, and boy was he in for a treat.
Beck wanted his mate but was afraid that it wasn’t ever going to happen. Then one day he got a cold chill and knew that Armand was in trouble. He had not expected the kids but damn. The trouble leads to Beck getting hurt and Armand well you will see how he reacts.
It was a little harder to get into but then I realized I had not read the book before it, so was a little off on the history of Armand and Beck. Will definitely be fixing that and soon. Excitement, danger and some hot sexy time is just a little of what you get in this book. It is a very entertaining story that will catch the readers attention right off the bat.
I enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading the next book.
