Bella Hunt thought the worst life got was the nanny quitting. But then she lost her job and found herself waiting for her husband to run off with his secretary to round off a trio of travesties. Going from being a high-flying fashion PR manager to a stay-at-home mother of three turns out to be a rather rude awakening, and Bella finds herself desperate for adult conversation and her own income. Her best friend and self-appointed life coach Rachel thinks starting up her own business from home is the perfect solution, but Bella couldn't do something like that, could she?

He watched from a distance as she played. Running through the park, chasing something from her imagination, he'd never seen her so happy. It was the day of her sixth birthday. Her long red hair and blue eyes along with her bright purple party dress caught the eyes of many visiting the park that day. He'd been watching her for weeks, he knew that today was the day. Should he go back without the girl, he'd surely be punished. With them was where she was meant to be. The girl wandered farther away from the crowd, dancing and spinning to music that only she could hear. The family was completely unaware, still preparing food on their picnic table. The girl's mother carefully placed six candles into the brightly frosted cake. They were distracted and he knew that it was time. She kneeled beside a tree picking clovers from the ground, out of sight of everyone. No one even even glanced in their direction. In only a second he was beside her. She didn't know what was happening until it was too late. He knew it was what he had to do. So he took her. ~ ~ ~ After twelve years of training in one of the most elite assassination groups in the world, Bella Price is returned to the life she was forced to forget. When the agency she was raised in is exposed and taken down by the American government, she is placed back into the arms of the family that she once had.
