THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.

THE DEADLIEST ASSASSIN IN THE KNOWN WORLD HAS JUST BEEN SPOTTED, AND THEY'RE NOT LETTING HER ESCAPE AGAIN. When Aleksandr Volkov crashes into her house and announces that the Black Camellia has been sighted within the country, Daneira Pang isn't sure if she should thank or curse her luck. After all, they'd both been hunting the assassin for years, but if they fail... She'd prefer death, thank you very much. She'd never asked for this life, but she'd never had a choice: this was her duty, and and duty was not something she could escape. There were only two reasons and two reasons alone why Aleksandr Volkov had willingly accepted this mission and went into the eye of the storm: one, because one of the Black Camellia's first targets had been his childhood friend; and two, because Danna was in Melique, and damned if he was going to let her face the Black Camellia alone. He'd already lost too many people in his life, he wasn't about to let Danna become the next one. They'll have to work around the clock to stop the assassin before it's too late. After all, it wasn't just the fate of a nation lying in their hands. It was the fate of the damned world as they knew it. And neither of them wanted to be responsible for inciting a war that might just rip their whole world in half.
