I'd rather face a dozen lethal assassins any night than deal with
something as tricky, convoluted, and fragile as my feelings.
But here I am. Gin Blanco, the semi-retired assassin known as the
Spider. Hovering outside sexy businessman Owen Grayson's front door like
a nervous teenage girl. One thing I like about Owen: he doesn't shy away
from my past--or my present. And right now I have a bull's-eye on my
forehead. Cold-blooded Fire elemental Mab Monroe has hired one of the
smartest assassins in the business to trap me. Elektra LaFleur is
skilled and efficient, with deadly electrical elemental magic as potent
as my own Ice and Stone powers. Which means there's a fifty-fifty chance
one of us won't survive this battle. I intend to kill LaFleur--or die
trying--because Mab wants the assassin to take out my baby sister,
Detective Bria Coolidge, too. The only problem is, Bria has no idea I'm
her long-lost sibling . . . or that I'm the murderer she's been chasing
through Ashland for weeks. And what Bria doesn't know just might get us
both dead. . . .
