Liu Kit-wah lives two different lives. For part of the time he is a talented artist but he is also a very successful contract-killer. He and his partner stick to their own Killers’ Code: Complete the contract as effectively and as efficiently as possible, always back one another up, never leave anyone behind...and never leave any witnesses.

When fulfilling a contract, Kit is faced with a problem; he has a witness. With his gun in his hand he is determined to eliminate her but he can’t pull the trigger. Instead, he falls for her.

In an alternative universe, the modern day Hong Kong triad leader Chan Ho Nam is a nineteenth century pirate. He is a member of Zheng Shih’s crew and she is the most powerful and successful pirate in history. Nam’s rise to become Zheng Shih’s first lieutenant is not without difficulty however. Giving her a blue quartz necklace the first time he meets her becomes the symbol of his everlasting love for her.

Hung Hing triad boss, Chan Ho Nam takes up protection duty. He’s bodyguard to a difficult and challenging woman who uses her body to distract him more than once.

Why would she want to distract the man committed to protect her from getting killed? It’s a question for which Nam just can’t quite find the answer.

Hong Kong triad gang boss Chan Ho Nam has never been lucky in love until he meets band singer Dannie Doyle. For the first time in a long time, Nam believes he might be lucky with Dannie, except she is unwilling to commit- she is frightened of the violence and danger of Nam’s triad world. Working hard to persuade Dannie, Nam is determined to protect her no matter what.

On the other hand, Dannie is torn between her growing feelings for Nam and her love of performing with her band. Just to make things more complicated, Dannie has a very convenient ‘arrangement’ with the band’s lead guitarist.

Will Nam’s luck run out? Will Dannie ever make a commitment to anything other than her band?
