Assassin's Heart

My job is death, danger, and intrigue. Never love. Since I was sixteen, the Syndicate has been my entire life. Now, on the brink of becoming one of their most trusted assassins, I've been given a job that should be simple-find a woman named Lidiya Petrovna, and use whatever means necessary to convince her to work for us. From the first word she says to me, I know she's going to drive me insane. Feisty, fiery and determined to try to escape me at every turn, she captivates me like no other woman I've ever met-and leaves me feeling things I never knew I could.
As the days pass and it gets harder to watch her with the man she's meant to help me take down, I know I should walk away. Give the job to someone else. But I also know what Vladimir's other men will do to a woman who challenges them the way Lidiya challenges me. And that's not the only reason I can't give her up. Loving her could get us both killed. But she's stolen the heart I didn't even know I had.
