Bandit
Auggie ‘Bandit’ Alling is the Salvation Kings’ treasurer and hacker and very much a man who thrives in control. With half the former Henchmen now allies, his workload is overwhelming, but nothing throws him off balance like Russell. As a former Henchman, Russell isn’t supposed to be safe. He isn’t supposed to be comforting. Yet Auggie can’t ignore the way Russell sees him. The things he makes him want. But trusting Russell means exposing pieces of himself he’s kept hidden for years.
Russell ‘Skinner’ Jones is no stranger to upheaval. Leaving the Henchmen was a risk, but starting over with Ares and the Kings gives him purpose, and one quiet, skittish hacker has captured his full attention. Auggie is cautious for a reason, his past marked by scars Russell refuses to ignore. Earning his trust won’t be easy, but Russell isn’t backing down. Protecting Auggie isn’t just his job―it’s a promise. One he intends to keep no matter the consequences.
When the devil Auggie thought he escaped resurfaces, they’ll both have to face the truth: some threats don’t disappear, and sometimes, monsters come back to claim what they lost.
