Charlotte Young once lived in the shadows-a lethal assassin known only by code and silence. But she walked away from that world, building a new life as a trauma nurse in the United States, engaged to Michael Reed, a kind-hearted military captain who knows of her past.
But ghosts don't stay buried forever.
When her old boss-a manipulative and dangerous handler named Nikolai-resurfaces and targets her, Charlotte is forced back into the crosshairs. As her new life begins to unravel, she calls in the only people who truly know her: Kennedy, Alexandra, and Liam-former spies turned found family.
What begins as a desperate defense turns into a war of identities, as Charlotte must face the woman she used to be in order to protect the life she's fought for. Old wounds reopen, loyalty is tested, and a new threat-Nikolai's ruthless protégé-emerges, forcing Charlotte into a final confrontation that will either cost her everything... or set her free.
Tense, emotional, and gripping from the first page, Double Life is a story of survival, redemption, and the powerful kind of love that waits through fire and comes home anyway.
[COMPLETED]
Elijah and Jess had been unbreakable since high school, so it comes as no surprise to anyone when the young couple decides to tie-the-knot. But when Jess's feisty and voluptuous best friend, Kylie, returns to the hometown for the wedding after five long years, the couples' relationship rapidly deteriorates.
All it takes is one drunken night of vulnerability and passion between Kylie and Elijah to highlight the many problems in his relationship with Jess.
The two begin a sordid affair at the expense of all those around them, and as all three of their lives begin to spiral out of control, it seems that it's not only Kylie and Elijah who are keeping secrets.
Nobody will be left unscathed when the truth comes out...
