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 sheโs just Anna Smithโa single, thirtysomething woman living in San Francisco with a simple desire to lead a better life. But sheโs still haunted by her pastโthe people she killed, the mentor she betrayed, the woman she was. Sheโs taken care to cover her tracks, but sheโs beginning to feel like sheโs being watched...
Nick Dade is a hired gunmanโthe best of the best. Heโs read Anyaโs file and, after weeks of surveillance, heโs ready to pull the triggerโฆuntil someone else beats him to the punch. With his agenda shattered, Nick suddenly finds himself thrown together with the woman heโs 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 Nickโs life and her own.
