I leant into him, my warm breath tickling his throat. Then I licked. I heard a sharp intake of breath, and I slipped my ice-cold hands under his shirt and slowly roved up his heated chest. I grinned a venomous smile as my obsidian eyes glinted in the dark.
Quick as lightning, he turned me around and slammed me into the wall, breathing heavily. But I was faster. In a split second, I had the shine of a blade up against his throat, and a few beads of crimson lining the dagger.
"I'll make you suffer. I'll slice off your skin and I'll delight in your screams. I'll kill you just like you killed me."

7 years ago, trained assassin Anastasia Bently was betrayed by her instructor, Lucas, causing the death of her family and kick-starting her run as a wanted criminal through the streets of Ancient China.  
Since then, she's begun plotting the downfall of her cursed instructor.

But when she returns 7 years later into the cold and vicious world she once knew, her intricate schemes begin weakening amidst the matrix of masks and deception. And when Lucas- now tanner and as beautiful as ever before- begins to act differently to the cynical person she once knew, a cog is jammed in her plans for revenge.
But the real challenge comes when Jayden- her tall, dark ex reappears in her life, putting her dark resolve, and even darker heart, to the test. 

Is Anastasia's heart too broken to be saved? And when the stakes increase and the flames grow hotter, will she really risk losing everything again?

7 years running. 7 years hiding. And 7 years plotting her sweet, sweet revenge.

Find out more in my enthralling new novel filled with steam, revenge, love, betrayal, and action.

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. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes.

The lives of the Last Grand Duchesses told from their perspectives. Olga~ I understood why he was given to me. Mama was already under much pressure. I felt the pressure from the executives and from her piercing stare, I was just a mere teenager at the time. Later on I had gotten scolded for his behavior. "Tatiana would have done a better job! You are the eldest Olga! The responsibility comes to you! Why can't you be more like your sister!" I will never forget those words, Why can't you be more like your sister? I ran out of the room crying that day. Tatiana~ I was woken up by the sound of yelling and doors being harshly opened. I sat up rubbing my eyes from the tiredness, it is most likely the middle of the night! My confusion is rapidly replaced with fear as five bolshevik guards entered our room, reeking of alcohol, drunk. Our dogs started barking, I was full of panic. We were in our nightly attire but we had our corsets filled with sown jewels hidden underneath, our secret. Maria~ I felt the comfort knowing that someone still cared and was looking out for me. I did not deserve his kind soul yet I still held onto him because he was the only thing that was separating me from the void of loneliness. I smiled at him then quickly looking away to find Olga staring at me across the dinner table with eyes beyond angry. Our eye contact lasted for a long time, I did not dare to look away. It was as if she was the predator and I was her prey, caught at the right moment. That was when I knew that this was the start of the end... Anastasia~ "Maybe they won't hurt us, just let her be in love"I supposed. "Love? What love? The love where we can't go outside? The love where they betrayed our family? The love where we can't have any damn privacy or the love where they wouldn't let us to england and leave us be! So you tell me Anastasia, what love?" "I know you are mad, but let her have this one thing, stop being unpleasant to her." I plead. -- Created in January of 2020
