Some identities are worn like armor. Hers is built to kill.
Reyna Cross is a ghost-moving through cities under false names, exposing corrupt power with the stroke of a pen... and eliminating it with the pull of a trigger. To the world, she's an ambitious freelance journalist. In truth, she's a high-priced assassin with a vendetta buried deep in her past.
When a new target emerges-a powerful government official tied to secrets no one should know-Reyna's job becomes more than just another kill. It's personal.
To complete the hit, she needs the help of Weston "Wes" Bennett, a brilliant CIA tech specialist who thinks she's working to bring truth to light-not snuff it out. But the closer Wes gets to uncovering who Reyna really is, the more dangerous the mission becomes-for both of them.
Loyalties will shift. Blood will spill.
And when the contract is signed in crimson, there's no turning back.
