He is the most terrifying of killers: ruthless, cunning,
charismatic. And he has the means to get whatever he
wants. And what Rico Chavez wants most is Elena Kyler--and
he wants her dead. Trained as an assassin, Elena didn't
need anyone to survive. But now she finds herself on the
run from one dangerous man and turning for help to another.
Sean Galen was a man without illusions. He knew it was
only desperation that caused Elena to accept his help--a
mother's desperation to save her young son from a
psychopath father who would raise their son in his own
chilling image. And yet he was determined to get this
woman who had never been able to trust anyone or anything
in her whole life to accept him as her ally. But both
Galen and Elena know that Chavez's power and wealth mean
there is no place they can be safe and no one they can
trust--not even each other. Already Chavez's assassins and
connections to those in the highest positions of power
have turned this into a war with no rules.
With two shocking acts of brutal violence, Chavez shows he
will stop at nothing and that nothing will stop him. Soon
a trail of horrifying murders will follow Galen and Elena
across country to a last stand and a shattering showdown.
For Chavez is a master of control and he wants more than
just to take Elena's life. He wants her alive long enough
to see him destroy every reason she has for living. He
wants her to turnagainst everything and everyone she ever
believed in. He wants her to commit the ultimate act of
betrayal. And by the time he is through, he wants her to
beg him to take the only thing she'll have left to give:
her life.
