An Australian-American criminal organization called The Cartel sells everything, from information to drugs to arms to humans. Somehow they've managed to escape the grasp of every government.
The CIA is hot on their trail this time, though, and they send two of their own undercover. One decides to bring along a young doctor, a victim of The Cartel, and an old friend of The Cartel's suspected leader. Their mission: to infiltrate The Cartel.
All they need to do is find out who the leader is-or leaders are-and gather evidence to convict-maybe kill, too-him or her.

The Shadow Operative
(Book One of The Classified Chronicles) When Agent Kayla Oswin joins the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, her new team sees only what she allows them to: a brilliant profiler with a mind for patterns and a calm no one can shake. But behind the Bureau badge lies a truth even the BAU doesn't know - Kayla isn't just FBI. She's a covert operative tied to a network so secret that only a handful of people in the world know it exists. Trained by the CIA, embedded with the NSA, and shadowed by NCIS, Kayla was once part of a classified task force created to eliminate threats before they reached American soil. She walked away years ago, leaving that life behind - or so she thought. When the BAU is called to investigate a string of killings across state lines, Kayla recognizes something no one else can: the unsub is using the same operational tactics she was trained to deploy. Every crime scene is a message, and every victim draws her closer to the buried truth she swore she'd never face again. Now, caught between loyalty and secrecy, Kayla must protect her team from an enemy who knows her every move - because he helped create her. In a world built on secrets, trust is a luxury. And in the shadows, even heroes can become weapons.Complete

Identity - Rewritten
In New York City, elite teens are going missing. The police and FBI have run out of leads and out of time, and so there is only one option left: to contract the CDA. It's the government's dirty little secret, an unorthodox organization of highly trained agents who are sent in when everyone else has failed. Four agents are sent to NYC: Mel Carmicheal, a knife-loving force of nature who could seduce a priest if she wanted to; Diego Delarosa, a perceptive and rational agent who can get anyone to trust him; Ian Sharpe, a quiet, insightful hitman who doesn't know exactly why he's there; and Asha Mannan, an organized, analytical agent who never gives up on a case. Changes in the very structure of the CDA during the middle of their assignment, however, have the agents scrambling with a new deadline and the looming threat of a suicide mission. Worst of all, their pasts and their secrets are beginning to catch up with them-- and they're all more connected than they know. Can they save the missing teenagers before their worlds come crashing down? *Told in chapters alternating between the past and the present* *This is the new & improved version of Identity- the old one has since been unpublished.

"So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night.

Phoenix

I tried my best to avoid eye contact as he towered over me, but once my eyes met his, the usual amber color of his orbs went darker and darker until they were now of a fervent brown shade and his pupils dilated drastically. The sight shocked me, causing goosebumps to rise all across my arms as electricity shot up my spine and my stomach erupted not in butterflies, but rather, I'd say in pterodactyls. It was both a terrifying and mesmeric sight... ___________________________________________ After being dared to kiss the first person to enter the dark room, 19 year old Essence later finds out that the person she kissed, 21 year old Phoenix, is her hand to hand combat trainer in her new assassin's school.
