Aurelia is a Courtesan, not an Assassin. Her world is turned upside down, however, when she kills a high-ranking Senator in self defense. Given his status, and the political power his family wields, Aurelia knows she will be executed without a trial.
When all hope seems lost, the Assassin's Guild of Glascoast steps in and offers her a rare opportunity: if she succeeds in assassinating seven senators in seven days, she will be permitted to join their ranks, and her murder will be written off as Guild business.
As Aurelia struggles to complete the task set before her, she discovers that there is much more to this challenge than meets the eye. There are dark currents swirling through Glascoast, and somehow, she has stumbled into the heart of them.
Hemmed in on all sides, a choice looms before her. Its consequences will ripple through her city, and have the potential to save or destroy her world.

[MAJOR WIP & EDITING GOING ON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE]
A past to run from.
A new country to settle in.
And avoiding men's touch in every way possible.
Aurelia came to America to begin again. She has left her country, her people, and even herself behind so that the demons of her past couldn't trace her down.
Zander is the son of a famous Hollywood director and a scriptwriter. Being famous he has a way of getting things from women at his whims and doesn't understands when Aurelia jerks away at every instance he tries to touch her.
There is an undeniable spark when they both meet. But is he patient enough to let her guards down? Or is it just another "right person wrong time"?
