Debra Webb

From the USA Today–bestselling author, “a fast-moving, sensual blend of mystery and suspense . . . I thoroughly enjoyed it” (Linda Howard, New York Times–bestselling author).

The assignment was clear: neutralize the dangerous assassin who had targeted the head of the Colby Agency. But how was CIA recruit Tasha North supposed to accomplish it? The assassin was highly skilled, had no fear, no conscience. No name.

So she used the one weapon that affected him as no other could—herself. Slowly Tasha began to earn his trust, to find the pieces of humanity left in him after years of abuse. But after they shared so much, could she complete her assignment? Especially when she learned his true identity?

“Brims with tightly woven suspense around every corner, and twists and turns abound. Webb moves effortlessly between two very diverse romances and masterfully keeps the reader on the edge until the last page.” —RT Book Reviews
