No More Nice Girl (r4r)
Raven was the girl everyone underestimated-a people-pleaser with a heart too soft for her own good. No one exploited that more than Damien, her first and only crush. But when Damien crushes her heart in the cruelest way, the girl she once was dies, leaving nothing but a stone-cold shell in her place. Then she's taken. A organization gives her an impossible choice: become a weapon forged in blood and shadows, or die. Raven doesn't just survive-she thrives, becoming one of the deadliest assassins they've ever trained. Years later, her latest mission drags her back to the town she swore she'd never see again-and right into the orbit of the people who ruined her. Including Damien. But the Raven they knew is gone. This Raven is lethal, unrecognizable, and unrelenting. Damien might try to reach her heart, but what happens if he's the one who ends up in her crosshairs? In a game of betrayal, love, and revenge, one question remains: will Raven finish what she started, or will her past be the death of them both? One's thing for certain: no more nice girlComplete

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross]
Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing.

Adventures of the Assassins' House Mother
Chessa tried her hardest to follow in her mother's footsteps and become an assassin. Alas, it's hard to be an assassin when you're clumsy, allergic to exercise, prefer baking cakes to poisoning them, and would rather patch wounds than inflict them. She feels like a failure, unable to serve her country in the only way she's ever known--until she's offered a job she'd never considered: House Mother to a gang of assassins. The men aren't so sure about the little woman that's been assigned to them, but each is desperate in his own way for a home. For many of the men, this is their last chance, and they cling to it with cynical hope. Slowly but surely their distrust and desperation turns into something... more. After all, how could cold-blooded assassins not fall for a woman that doesn't fear them? How could they not fall under the spell of her delicious pastries? How could they not want to forever keep a woman that knows how to remove blood out of literally everything? --- This is a dream I just had. We'll see where it goes.
