    About this series

    Rule #1 of being a hired killer: never get to know your target . . . and definitely don' t fall in love with them

    Taking lives has taken its toll. Her moral justifications have faltered. Do any of the people she has killed— some of them heinous, but all of them human— deserve to die?

    Her next target is Cameron Walker, a rancher in Arizona. When she arrives at his remote desert estate to carry out her orders, she discovers that he is a kind and beautiful man. After a lengthy tour of the ranch, not only has she not killed him— she' s wondering who might want him dead.

    She procrastinates, instead growing closer to Cameron. She learns that he' s passionate about wild horses and has been fighting a losing political battle to save mustangs that live on protected land near his ranch— he' s even received death threats from his opponents.

    Suddenly, she' s faced with protecting the man she was sent to kill, encountering kidnappers, murderers, horse thieves, and even human traffickers along the way. Can she figure out who has hired her before they take matters into their own hands?

    Perfect for fans of Dean Koontz and Tana French

These are the question one woman faces when she loses everyone she loves and everything she has. When the opportunity arrives to reinvent herself as a killer for hire, she takes it. She's good at it— and if she doesn't do it, someone else will. Then everything changes when she learns about a serial killer so horrible she vows to find him and kill him until— overcome by self-doubt— she seeks redemption rather than vengeance.

      A shattered life. A killer for hire. Can she stop? Does she want to? Her assignments were always to kill someone. That's what a hitman— or hitwoman— is paid to do, and that is what she does. Then comes a surprise assignment— keep someone alive. She is hired to protect Virginia Martin, the stunning and brilliant chief technology officer of a hot startup with an environmentally important innovation that will change the world. This new gig catches her at a time in her life when she's hanging on by a thread. Despair and hopelessness— now more intense than she'd felt after the tragic loss of her family— led her to abruptly launch this career. But over time, living as a hired killer is decimating her spirit and she keeps thinking of ending her life. She's confused about the “why” of her new commission, but she addresses it with her usual skill and stealth, determined to keep the young CTO alive against the ever-increasing odds. Some people have to die as she discharges her responsibility to protect this superstar woman amid the crumbling worlds of high finance and future technical wonders. The spirit of an assassin— and her nameless dog— permeates this struggle to help a young woman as powerful forces mount against her.
