There’s no room in Avery Nicolis’s life for an obsession, yet why else does he stalk Emeline Gamble. Lurking in the shadows, he hungers for a woman he can’t have. Between the secrets he guards and anarchy roiling in his soul, his only solace are his glimpses of Emeline. He will resist her, protect her from himself, and deny his desire to claim her heart. Emeline Gamble was a Watcher for the Order—a secret society of women charged with monitoring the offspring of the gods. For months, she observed Avery Nicolis, an elite mercenary, Descendant of Ra, and enemy of the Order. Never knowing he had her in his crosshairs. Trapped in a lie, Emeline is forced to accept Avery as her bodyguard. Compelled to spend time with him, she learns to care for his tortured soul and see the hero lurking beneath the assassin’s façade. But every word out of her mouth is a lie. Every action a betrayal. Because to save her family she is forced to accept a new assignment, deliver Avery Nicolis to the Goddess of Chaos, alive... And do not fall in love with him.
There is no such thing as a chance meeting.

Review
This is the first book I have read in this series. This is an very interesting story line but I highly recommend writing down the names of the characters and how they are related to each other. Plus taking little notes here and there due to the length of this book depending on how fast you read. It be a little confusing at times remembering how each character is affected by the story line especially if you read a few books at a time like I do.
This was a fresh story line with Egyptian Gods who possess people for their own gratification, immortal warriors who have been alive for two thousand years but can still be killed by taking off their heads, a league of mortal assassin's who are bent on hunting then down and a longing between an immortal warrior who becomes possessed by the God of chaos and an human assassin.
This is a good book and I strongly recommend it. I will definitely read the first two books in this series.
