SummaryIf you sense someone's watching you from afar, or if
you feel a shadow other than your own at your back, I
might as well pack it up and call it a day.
It's a job that makes a killing. Efficient, professional,
and without apology, Lily Mansfield is a hired assassin,
working as a contract agent for the CIA. Her targets are
the powerful and corrupt, those who can't be touched by
the law.
Now, after nineteen years of service, Lily has been drawn
into a dangerous game that hasn't been sanctioned, seeking
vengeance for her own reasons. Each move bolder than the
next, she is compromising her superiors, drawing unwanted
attention, and endangering her very life. Though stress
and shock have made her feel somewhat invincible and a
little cocky, Lily knows that she too can be taken out in
an instant. And if it's her time, so be it. She intends to
go down fighting.
A CIA agent himself, Lucas Swain recognizes the signs of
trauma in the line of fire. His orders: either bring her
in or bring her down. Yet he too is drawn into the game
with Lily Mansfield, dancing on a tightrope as he tries to
avoid a major international incident while still battling
a tenacious foe who is dogging their every step. Keeping
laser focus on the task at hand while vigilantly watching
her back, Mansfield never sees the lethal peril that lies
directly in her path . . . and how loyalty has a price.
