Salma Brown will save the world - one trafficked person at a time. That becomes increasingly difficult when the traffickers keep hiring Samson of Darset, top-notch killer and assassin, to protect their wares. Despite Salma using him to dispose some of her pursuers when they first meet, she gets out of the following encounters alive. Then Salma tries to save Samson's life because she cannot let a helpless person, even if he is a killer, die. As a result, she becomes his target in a very different way. But to make their relationship work, they will have to take on Samson's employer and international cartel of professional killers.
