One older, unwilling female assassin, one young innocent man, and the soulful, steamy love which could destroy them both
Having survived a traumatic childhood, Nico (Nick) Vidor's life is now routine, until the day that one woman walks into the D.C. tavern where he works. Beautiful, sophisticated, much older, and clearly out of his league, Leonie is too much the stuff of fantasy for him to even think of asking her out. But when she makes it clear she wants him, he can't imagine saying no, even if she is a complete mystery.
Leonie Beausoleil's past is a closed subject for a reason. Raised to seduce, spy, and kill, she's long since decided that loneliness is an appropriate penance for her sins, as well as her only possible safety. When Nick's tender understanding cuts past all her defenses and makes her want to try again, she has to hope that, this time, she can save the one she loves.
Determined to be together, their passion is all-consuming. But when her past comes calling, gun in hand, can Leonie protect this good man she needs without becoming a monster he can't love?
Step into this ultra-steamy, age-gap, interracial romantic suspense tale and discover a couple willing to risk everything in their attempt to live beyond the next breath to find the heated comfort they seek.
