From USA
Today bestselling author Jillian Dodd comes the second book in a sizzling
series filled with action and adventure. Fans of The Selection and The Hunger
Games will discover a heart-pounding thrill ride of espionage and suspense
set in glittering high society.
The world’s most deadly assassin, a man
known only as The Priest, has come back from the dead to take a series of high
profile hits. When the assassin completes his first task—shooting an important
world leader, the global community goes into collective shock and his
government vows retaliation.
With her cover firmly cemented as Huntley
Von Allister, Spy Girl’s vacation on the Royal Yacht is cut short when she’s
called home for her next mission—and, this time, it’s personal.
Can Huntley accomplish her mission before
the next hit takes place?
And what will happen when she finally
comes face-to-face with the man who killed her mother?
Excerpt
“No,
Huntley, I did not.” He sighs. “Even though I was upset to learn the truth
about you, I’m certainly not over you. And I could never offer you up to another man.”
A quick
glance over the railing confirms that Daniel is still training in the pool a
deck below. Knowing I won’t be overheard, I say, “I’m sorry, Lorenzo. If I
weren’t who I am, if I didn’t have to do this—”
“Things
would be different,” he says, finishing my sentence. “I know. I’m a King and
you’re—you. It would never work.”
“Right.”
“But what
if it could?” he asks.
“The only
way it could is if one of us were willing to quit.”
“I can’t
quit my country.”
“So you
want me to quit?”
“I’m not
sure. I have so many unanswered questions.”
“What
were you told about me?”
“Very
little. The man who called simply stated that your training and cover had taken
years to put into place. He then requested I not tell a soul, for your personal
safety.”
“Lorenzo,
it’s one thing to know what I do. It’s another thing to have witnessed it.”
“While I
will admit your talents are slightly unusual, it doesn’t make them any less
spectacular.”
“You saw
me kill people. I’m good at it.”
“And
thank goodness that you are, or I’d be dead.”
“And I’m
a liar.”
“I
watched you work the crowd to perfection at both the Queen’s Garden Party and
Her Majesty’s Royal Ball. Where I come from, we call that being diplomatic.”
I laugh
out loud. “You almost make me feel like a normal girl.”
“Will you
tell me how you ended up in this profession at such a young age?”
“Can I be
honest with you?”
“Of
course.”
“I’m not
doing this for my country.”
“Good,
then it will be easier to convince you to live in mine.”
