Since then, Shadow has abandoned her Master and the Manor and taken up the mantle of guardian of the same children, Flitch and Missy.

In fact, it's really the only name she ever gives, except to clients. Adrianna 'Wisp' Williams is an assassin for hire, living two lives. Her world revolves around stolen secrets, assassinations, blackmail, and betrayal. And a haunting past. When she finally decides to retire for a while and allow herself time to heal from the heartbreak she's experienced, she's pulled right back into the vortex of the assassin community. This time, she's partnered up with someone unexpected. Old memories arise, and not pleasant ones. To top it off, her new target isn't just any old pervert. He's charming and friendly, and not at all the villain he's painted as. Will Adrianna be able to complete the mission? Or will the fact that she just might be in the midst of a love triangle distract her?
