AVA is a dangerous killer with a troubled past. She grew up in the Assassins' gang, where she learned everything she knows about seduction and murder. AVA is very good at what she does, and her knife has never missed its mark.
AVA is not perfect, though. She can't get rid of her past, so she always looks over her shoulder because she's afraid of getting caught. When Alpha Storm, the head of the most conservative pack, gives AVA the job of killing him, she knows it will be her most dangerous mission yet.
Storm is a strong Alpha who is not easy to trick. But AVA is set on finishing her task, no matter what it takes. She will use her looks, her wits, and her ability to kill to attract Storm and get close enough to him to kill him.
But as AVA gets to know Storm, she starts to wonder why she is doing what she is doing. He's not the monster she thought he was, and she starts to wonder if she can really kill him. AVA will have to choose whether to follow her heart or her orders in the end.
Will AVA's evil lead her to kill Storm? Or will she be able to make things right and save him from her own darkness?

SHADOWS WITHIN

Without warning, the dagger brushed up against my thigh.

I asked angrily, not looking up, "What happened to her? It's evident that she is not your secret little fiancee, given that you talk of her in the past tense.

Storm took another breath, but this time it was harsher, higher, and so piercing that it threatened to sever the air in two. I resisted looking up. I was sick of hearing him breathe. Every time, it sounded more strained than the previous. I lost more and more determination the longer I kept looking at him. I had to be uninterested. I wanted to learn the truth.

When you said, "Rhys happened," my head snapped up. Those words sounded so agonised that I could picture them torturing Storm in a circle.
