Dr. Olivia Mills has a past...one she faked her own death to escape. But one phone call destroys her carefully planned new life. See, Olivia isn't Olivia at all — she is Vanessa Clark, former black ops assassin. And she's been ordered to kill someone she loves.
When her old flame and ex-partner Holt Landry shows up, things get even more complicated. Once, he'd betrayed her. Now he asks for her trust. The more Olivia uncovers, the more she realizes the past is not what it seems. And if she doesn't go back, this time she'll die for real.

She's a phoenix having risen from her ashes and created a new life for herself. But the past comes hunting her with a vengeance and the only one who can help her is the man who betrayed her...
This was one heck of a story. Take a good, tight, well-thought-out plot, great pacing, wonderful suspense and intrigue, a tough-as-nails heroine and a to-die-for - despite his secrets - hero (the slight accent was irresistible), loads of secrets, a heap of misdirections, shady characters that aren't that shady, good guys that aren't that good, and a boiling just beneath the surface chemistry and attraction that never died, and you get this almost-masterpiece of suspense. Bombshell all the way.
Read on Sony e-Reader. Great little romantic suspense novel where a former CIA agent and her old partner are in danger from the past. She brings her fiance with her--into the flying bullets--and rekindles her love affair with her partner.
