A Confession Out of Control in the Dark

Jiang Lin, Deputy Division Chief of the assassin organization, was renowned for his cold, decisive manner. He had never imagined that Su Mo—his partner, who followed him like a shadow on every mission—would become a breach in his wall of reason. The organization strictly forbade personal entanglements between colleagues; exposure meant certain death. Yet when Su Mo collapsed onto the safe house sofa from a high fever, the long-suppressed emotions in Jiang Lin’s heart could no longer be contained. He looked at Su Mo’s flushed cheeks and dazed eyes, the heat in the air seeming to ignite the last safe distance between them. In a corner untouched by moonlight, a struggle between control and surrender was about to begin.
