Alyssa is betrayed by the very people who made her into the elite assassin she is today. They sent her on a suicide mission....only they forgot to tell her about the suicide part. She was unaware she had no prospects of survival, and by the time she found evidence of their treachery, it was too late. However, before she succumbed to her demise she was saved by an alien commander, one who immediately takes a liking to her.

This is a slow build humans versus aliens story, and a slow burn romance with no spice and a HEA.

A story full of suspense and fast paced. Alyssa is Earth’s Deadliest Assassin, but she’s in danger. Will she be able to find the truth. I couldn’t put the book down until the last word.
