Jade Willingston is in search of the man that raised her, the man who taught her everything she knows, the first man that she ever trusted. The only problem is Jade's father is known as the best assassin in all of Europe and for someone to have him against his will, that person would have to be better. Using her skills, Jade travels all over Europe and is hired for some of the most dangerous missions, in hope of gaining Intel on the location of Andrew Tridel--the man who took her father. She will stop at nothing until she sees Andrew dead. Having been hurt all her life, Jade created a wall around her heart to try and block out all emotion. But when Sam, a childhood friend, walks back into her life, will he be able to break down that wall and soften her heart? Or will Jade run away from him before he gets the chance? Can she ever trust again? Well in this business, an assassin's trust is the hardest thing to obtain.

What goes around, comes around is the saying for generations right? Isn't that called Karma? But Karma apparently isn't doing its job when justice is never serve. When people don't get what they deserve and never do. And that's where the story begins. Karma is always within sight, always observing from every crevice, you just never see it. - Author's Note: So, to start this off. The whole description thing doesn't quite match the story at the beginning, or the middle, but it'll come in handy towards the end.
