Aria Torrez has grown up leading a not-so-normal life, being raised in a secret agency of spies and assassins. She is one of the best agents for her age and cannot wait until she gets promoted to a senior-level agent because that's when the real fun with demolition begins. What she does not expect is the latest mission she is assigned to: taking care of the teenage prince Maximilian, who hasn't been able to stay out of trouble, or in her words, 'babysitting' him while she tries to find out who is trying to kill him. Aria finds that the mission is so much more than what she thought when she finally gets introduced to a normal life, pizza and Maximilian's eldest brother, Adrian. Her mission becomes a mix of responsibility, guilt and uncertainty as she tries to successfully do her job while being distracted by new emotions and experiences. Can she really protect someone else when she cannot even think straight anymore?

Faith Mitchell was never confident. She was happy to blend into the background, much to the protest of her friends. At 16, her life was a normal teenage cliche. She was in love with Jace, the obnoxious player who she couldn't have, and her biggest worry was whether or not he would finally come to his senses and see that she really was the one for him. That is until she is kidnapped and recruited by a secret agency of assassins. She is torn away from her normal teenage life and thrown into a world of guns, knifes and criminals. The agency mold her into the perfect killing machine, and at 19 she is no longer the shy girl that was snatched away from her uncomplicated life, but a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to complete whatever mission she is on. Then, the agency has a new mission which involves Faith returning to her hometown, and facing her friends, family and the very boy who broke her heart just before it turned into stone. What will happen once Faith comes face to face with Jace? Will the obnoxious player be able to reach out and get the old Faith back without pressing any of her wrong buttons, considering that the shy girl he once knew now has a gun.
