An eye for an eye, blood for blood.
 
UCLA student Cass Turner was hoping to move on from the family business—but when the business is professional assassination, that's easier said than done. And sleeping with the man she was supposed to kill only complicates things. Her relationship with Nick Kosta, a lieutenant in LA's largest crime family, was supposed to be no-strings-attached fun. But if the two of them want to stay alive, they'll have to keep each other close.
Nick's traitorous cousin, Isaiah, is out for blood, so Cass can't afford any distractions as they try to hunt him down. Yet she can't help puzzling over Nick's motives—does he really share her deepening feelings or does he just feel responsible for her? And if their relationship is for real, will they even have a future? Because with their enemies several steps ahead of them, one false move could bring disaster for everyone Cass holds dear...and in this game of cat and mouse, no one will leave unscathed.
