Seraphine Lucienne Moreau Valestri was one of the deadliest assassins in Europe. Then she lost a bet to her older brother and landed the most humiliating mission of her life.

The assignment:
No weapons. No identity. No pride.
She must infiltrate the life of a Manila-based lawyer who accidentally ruined their billion-dollar mafia deal, all while pretending to be a broke, unstable, ghost-hunting "spirit medium."

There's just one problem.

Attorney Rafael Ilustre doesn't believe in ghosts.
He believes in logic, law, and filing formal complaints when his neighbor starts chanting in Latin at 3 AM.

But when Seraphine starts appearing at crime scenes with eerily accurate "visions," Rafa finds himself drawn into her bizarre world of salt circles, haunted mop priests, and ghost stories that somehow always lead to the truth.

What he doesn't know is this:
The ghosts are fake.
The hauntings are staged.
And the woman he thinks is deranged might be the assassin sent to eliminate him.

Seraphine was ordered to get close, gather intel, and finish the job. She was never supposed to enjoy it. She was never supposed to protect him. And she definitely wasn't supposed to fall for him.

Now she has a choice to make.
Follow orders and destroy the man who trusts her the most.
Or risk everything to protect him from the family she was born to serve.

"You were a nurse, no?" I asked her. "Now, I am a stripper." She replied with a hint of agitation in her tone. At loss of words, I stayed quiet as she turned to walk away. Even in the dark sky of light, I could make out her perfectly carved figure and with a newfound interest, I started to walk behind her. She turned around with a frown marred on her face, "Don't follow me." I grabbed the back of her head and pushed her against the wall, "What are you doing here?" Her violet eyes lit up with a fire, "I don't see how that's your business." Her voice was naturally soft but her tone was harsh. And that ticked me off. Pressing my body against hers, I answered, "You are my business, Rheannon. I own that club." I could feel the rapid rise of her breathing just before she pushed me away, "You own that club, Angelo. Not me." Saying that, she ran away. - Rheannon Aurora Pallas, an excellent nurse who have always outdone her duties, had to leave the hospital she worked at as well as the country she called home. New York City may sound like a dream but hidden in shadows are some of the most monstrous human beings. And it took Rheannon only one night to figure that out. And now that she was here, she could not leave. Not until she finds the person she's looking for. Enter Angelo Petrakis, renowned businessman in the day and a drug smuggler by the night. Oh, and did I mention that he is also the patient she once nursed and the man who owns the strip club she works at? No? Well, there's always a first time for everything. When they first met, they hated each other with a passion. But, maybe, just maybe that passion can give birth to an emotion that they both are unaware of. After all, love can be found in the most unexpected of places. --- It's a Spin-off to Sinbound & can be read as a Stand Alone.
