"Damien Hawthorne... you're ruining my marriage!"
What do you do when you find out that the man you've been trying to track down for two years is the same man whom you've been married to for five years? ANASTASIA STERLING, secretly known as Scarlett Daggerhart, is one of the greatest assassins the world has ever known. But when a mission goes horribly wrong, she finds out that the people she trusted have been hiding terrible secrets from her that she can't ignore.
***
LUCAS STERLING only has eyes for his wife. In her eyes, he's always been out to kill her, but that's nowhere close to the truth. Because the moment he saw the gleam in her eyes on her target file, he promised himself no danger would come to Scarlett Daggerhart while she was on the job.

A TOAST TO HELL
They were rivals trained to kill. Now, they have to trust each other to survive. Amora Saint is a blade in motion-reckless, fiery, and relentless. Every mission she takes is a defiance, a challenge to the man whose shadow she's been forced to live in. Elias Kane is precision in human form-cold, calculated, and infuriatingly perfect. He doesn't make mistakes, doesn't waste words, and doesn't forget who beat him to the kill... or who didn't. Both elite assassins trained under the same brutal organization, their careers have been a never-ending contest of skill, blood, and pride. For years, they've been pitted against each other, their rivalry sharpened by proximity and unresolved tension. But when their handler assigns them a target too dangerous for either of them alone-a high-value ghost tied to global arms trade and deeper Syndicate secrets-they're forced into an alliance neither of them asked for. As their mission spirals through betrayal, corruption, and bodies that won't stay buried, Amora and Elias must navigate deadly territory and each other. Enemies make for efficient killers. Lovers make for fatal distractions. In a world where trust can get you killed and feelings are just another weakness to exploit, one thing is certain: If they don't kill the target-or each other-first... They'll both burn. Raise a glass. Lock your sights. This is A Toast to Hell.

Toy Soldiers (Helford #1)
On my first day of high school, they tested our abilities-they wanted to see who would outlast the others, and who would be outlasted. For hours and hours, we gave it all we had. When they came back into the room to give us our scores, we were put into two groups: the ones to be trained as infiltrative spies, and the others to be trained as assassins. I was picked to be an assassin, and later, when the members of my group turned to face the man who would mentor us, I watched as a slow, wicked smirk spread across his face. He looked at us, and he said, "Game on." This man was Shawn Masterson, and this man was a murderer.Complete

Her past is tangled with Alessandro Romano, the man she once loved fiercely-only to become the centerpiece in a devastating family betrayal that shattered his legacy and fractured their hearts.
