A superspy meets her match in New York Times bestselling author Lilith Saintcrow’s latest romance!
As a genetically enhanced assassin for a secret agency, Cal has one mission: to recapture the sultry rogue superspy who calls herself Trinity. Yet when he finds her, Cal will risk everything to keep her out of his superiors’ deadly hands.
Despite a computerlike brain and the ability to heal herself, Trinity has no memory of her life before the agency. She’s desperate to uncover her identity. Every bit of trust she places in gorgeous, sexy Cal seems to bring back a little of her humanity. But her secrets might destroy them both, before the agency even gets a chance.
“I have to get away from you,” Trinity whispered.
“What?” He was staring at her mouth, as if trying to decode a foreign tongue.
“I’m sorry,” Trinity said. Strangely enough, she meant it. She grabbed her backpack and bolted past him.
At least, that was her plan. But Cal leaned forward, his hand blurring out and closing around her upper arm. “Is this really what you want to do?” Hot breath on her ear. “I’m here to help you, honey. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way.”
“I. Have. To. Get. Away. From. You.” She enunciated clearly, so he could not possibly misunderstand. “I am dangerous, Eight.”
“Don’t call me that.” Soft and reasonable. “You really think you’re dangerous?”
You have no idea. How many are dead because of me?
Then again, a better word might be toxic. More precise.
She tested his grip, struggling.
“I have a mission.” Analyses and percentages raced through her head. None of them added up correctly. How far had mental degradation progressed?
“So do I, honey.” A little husky now. “And it involves keeping you out of their hands.”
Plenty of people consider logic and emotion mortal enemies. Certainly Trinity, who readers will remember from Agent Zero, does. When does logic become monstrous, and when does emotion become pathological? The balancing point is different for every person. It was interesting to write Cal, whose casual exterior masks deadly seriousness, and Trinity, whose icy self-control is a survival mechanism, not a choice. The older I become, the more I find what you see isn’t ever what you get.
Even the most logical or self-sufficient superspy sometimes has to rely on someone else. I hope you enjoy the story of how these two people come to rely on each other. I’ll warn you, a great deal of this book takes place in the dusty desert, and I had to drink gallons of water while writing it…
