Curiosity is definitely going to get me dead one of these
days. Probably real soon.
I'm Gin Blanco.
You might know me as the Spider, the most feared assassin
in the South. I’m retired now, but trouble still has a way
of finding me. Like the other day when two punks tried to
rob my popular barbecue joint, the Pork Pit. Then there was
the barrage of gunfire on the restaurant. Only, for once,
those kill shots weren’t aimed at me. They were meant for
Violet Fox. Ever since I agreed to help Violet and her
grandfather protect their property from an evil coalmining
tycoon, I’m beginning to wonder if I’m really retired. So
is Detective Donovan Caine. The only honest cop in Ashland
is having a real hard time reconciling his attraction to me
with his Boy Scout mentality. And I can barely keep my
hands off his sexy body. What can I say? I’m a Stone
elemental with a little Ice magic thrown in, but my heart
isn’t made of solid rock. Luckily, Gin Blanco always gets
her man . . . dead or alive.
