And Nell will find her mission imperiled by Tanek's dangerous magnetism, a temptation to which she cannot afford to surrender." For as Nicholas gets closer to his quarry, he'll find his carefully laid plans jeopardized at every turn by a bold woman daring to strike out on her own. Yet when he divulges the identity of her assailant to Nell, he makes the biggest mistake of his life. Enigmatic, with a shadowy past and more secrets than Nell could ever imagine, Tanek knows far more about the attack than he is willing to admit.

And Nicholas Tanek, a mysterious stranger who compels both fear and fascination, gives her a reason to go on living: revenge - at any price. Rehabilitation gives her a strong, lithe body.

Delicate surgery gives her an exquisitely beautiful face. Though badly hurt, Nell emerges from the nightmare a woman transformed. and in the space of a heartbeat, Nell's life, her dreams, her future are shattered by a spray of bullets and the razor edge of a blade. Until one night on an exotic island in the Aegean Sea, at an elegant gathering that should have cemented her husband's glorious career in finance, the unimaginable happens.
