Sapphire Grey. The only daughter of Lyla Grey who runs Grey International Department of Secret Agents. Her father passed away when she was young, but her mother never told her how. She spent years training in martial arts, defensive tactics, firearm skills, and hand to hand combat. She was personally trained by her mother and grandfather who was the old leader of the organization.
When her mother assigns 17 year old Sapphire on a mission with her team, to a high school to protect the mayor's children from any threat, Sapphire will experience life as an average teenage girl along with making new friends and enemies. And who knows, maybe love.

He looked up at the roof, Sapphire standing on top of it. Since she was wearing a black hoodie, and it was dark, he couldn't see her face.
"Who are you, and why do you keep on following me!" He shouted at the figure. The figure jumped off the roof, landing carefully on the ground. Everett looked at the figure, still not able to see their face. "I can't tell you", she whispered.
"Why the hell not! If you're gonna stalk me, I might as well know who's doing it. I mean, if you showed me who you are, I'd probably get you arrested. So that wouldn't work well for you, but it'd work well for me..." Everett rambled, not noticing the figure was walking slowly behind him.
"Because if I did, you'd hate me", Sapphire whispered softly. Everett was confused and surprised by the sentence, but before he could do or say anything, she knocked him out cold. Before his body collided on the ground, Sapphire caught him.
"I'm sorry, Everett, I really am", she murmured.

"And I do love it when a man is at the pointy end of my dagger." I push the blade in more, a sliver of skin parting as red flows between the crevices and blesses the weapon.
He only grins wider, "Show no mercy, Angel." He rears up, lips capturing mine and pulling my face closer to his, his hand winding itself around my neck to hold me in place as he draws my whole being into his with only his poisoned tongue and daring words. . .
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"The enemy of my enemy, is my enemy tomorrow." I counter.

They took everything from me.
Hunt me. Underestimate me.
I have nothing to lose . . . Until he shows up.
He is my undoing. The unknown.
I can't let him in.

He thought I had been broken, consumed in his games. Loyal.
At least I was . . . Until I saw her.
She is my redemption. She is the job.
I have to kill her.

Trigger warnings - this book is a lot darker than Alliance and as such deals with descriptions of torture, assault, murder and mention of SA. If this is not for you, feel free to not read. There is some sex scenes throughout this book so please read at your own risk. The main character/s are also very morally grey so if you don't like characters torturing others, this isn't the book for you.
