“Cain.”
Bram noted the agent didn’t give his surname.
Shade turned to Devyn. “Hello, Mrs. Hawke.” He shook his head. “I can’t believe you married Steel.”

The spy tried to hide a wince.
She pulled back and frowned at him. “You’re still hurt.”
Shade had recently been attacked by a rogue agent, out to make a name for himself as an assassin of spies.

Devyn smiled back. “I knew I liked you.”
“You have a funny way of showing it. You’re usually cursing at me.”
“Yes, well, you can be annoying. Bram here is my new bestie. You’ve been demoted.”
Shade shook his head, then met Bram’s gaze. They shared a look.
“Good luck with that,” Shade said.
She elbowed him.
Then Bram headed toward the Russian thug who was groaning quietly on the ground.
He had questions, and he needed answers.
