She faked her death to escape life as an assassin. But now her enemies have tracked her down, and this time they want her to stay dead.
Anya Danielovich was an assassin in her former life. But that was a long time ago. Today sheβs just Anna Smithβa single, thirtysomething woman living in San Francisco with a simple desire to lead a better life. But sheβs still haunted by her pastβthe people she killed, the mentor she betrayed, the woman she was. Sheβs taken care to cover her tracks, but sheβs beginning to feel like sheβs being watched...
Nick Dade is a hired gunmanβthe best of the best. Heβs read Anyaβs file and, after weeks of surveillance, heβs ready to pull the triggerβ¦until someone else beats him to the punch. With his agenda shattered, Nick suddenly finds himself thrown together with the woman heβs been sent to eliminate. Who is she really? Who hired the second hit? And who can he trust? Together Nick and Anna find themselves embroiled in a web of deceit and desire as an unknown enemy closes in. To unravel the truth, Anna must face her past even if that means risking both Nickβs life and her own.
