Book description
Efficient, professional, and without apology, Lily Mansfield is a hired
assassin, working as a contract agent for the CIA. Her targets are the
powerful and corrupt, those who can't be touched by the law. Now, after
18 years of service, Lily has been drawn into a dangerous game that
hasn't been sanctioned, seeking vengeance for her own reasons. Each move
bolder than the next, she is compromising her superiors, endangering her
very life. Though stress and shock have made her feel somewhat
invincible and a little cocky, Lily knows that she too can be taken out
in an instant. And if it's her time, so be it. She intends to go down
fighting. A CIA agent himself, Lucas Swain recognizes the signs of
trauma in the line of fire. His orders are to either bring her in or
bring her down. Yet he too is drawn into the game with Lily Mansfield,
dancing on a tightrope as he tries to avoid a major international
incident while still battling a tenacious foe who is dogging their every
step. Keeping laser focus on her task at hand while vigilantly watching
her back, Mansfield never sees the lethal peril that lies directly in
her path . . . and how loyalty has a price. Linda Howard is an award
winning New York Times bestselling author. She lives in Alabama with her
husband and two golden retrievers.
