Beautiful latina on the run? Check!
Gorgeous agent looking for a fresh start? Check!
A secret that could crash their present and obliterate their future? Double check!

Eva was young, happy and carefree.
Life was promising until the day she realized her life was not her own, just right before her world came crashing down. 
After that, living became a not so jolly ride in Dante's circles of Hell but, now, finally her life resembles to something normal.
Until the night she dances with the wrong man.

Drew needed a change of scenery from his mind-consuming agent life, so when an easy recon mission half-way around the world came along, he just jumped at the opportunity. It was supposed to be just another mission until the moment he laid eyes on her across a dance floor.

They say everyone has a before/after defining moment in life but when it comes along crushing life as we know it, will we be able to recognize it for what it is?

He stared down at me with those cold dark eye's. Backing me up against the wall with his hand pressed against my throat he growled out. "Do you know the ways I could kill you? The things I could do to you babydoll? I'll ask you again, what did you see in my black bag?" Through tears, I stammered out. "N-nnothing. I saw nothing" Giving me that malicious smile of his, he spoke in that deep Italian accented voice "Good answer Laney, good answer". Finally letting me go, I placed my hand to my throat where his hand had burned into my skin, and watched him leave me standing there.
