The Unexpected Inlander

Agent Christopher Rockford has been the best assassin in the agency for eight years, and he loves his job. He loves his solitary lifestyle. He loves keeping the world safe by getting rid of anarchists who threaten their orderly society. He loves his comfortable life as a member of the wealthy Coastal upper class. But in pursuit of a target, he meets Jenna, a mysterious civilian who belongs to society's lowest and most shunned group. Being around her is life-changing. She makes him feel for the first time, and he is instantly captivated. She boldly stands in the face of everything he has ever known and was taught to believe. He begins to see the world through her eyes, causing him to question his job, his lifestyle, and The Order he so obediently serves. It's not long before he can't imagine his life without her. There's just one problem: He knows she would leave him if she ever found out about his job. He knows this because he asked her how she felt about assassins in their government, and she was utterly disgusted with the idea, even though she believes their existence is just a myth. As their relationship grows and intensifies, he knows he cannot keep the truth from her for long. But Jenna has her own secrets to keep. Set in an orderly world of near-perfect surveillance, genetically modified humans, and extreme socioeconomic divide, The Unexpected Inlander will take you through Chris's journey of self-discovery and learning that change begins within.
