Don't Hate Me

An assassin approaches every assignment with a process refined over years of killing. Infiltrating Club Pétale to reach Blake is supposed to be another controlled operation. Instead, the target's warmth introduces feelings the assassin has never learned to recognise or manage. Blake, an experienced secret-service agent with her own concealed history, proves difficult to reduce to a name on a job. Attraction threatens the certainty on which the mission depends, but the commitment to finish it remains. Their relationship develops in a world where neither woman offers conventional safety, and the possibility of love does not remove the danger between them.
