First book in a brand new series!
She faked her death to escape life as an assassin. But now her enemies have tracked her down, and this time they want her to stay dead.
Anya Danielovich was a highly-trained killing machine in her former life. But that was a long time ago. Today she's just Anna Smith - a single, thirtysomething woman living in San Francisco with an undemanding day job, a loving, if dim-witted, dog, and a simple desire to lead a simple better life. But she's still haunted by her past - the people she killed, the mentor she betrayed, the woman she was. She's taken care to cover her tracks, but she's beginning to feel like she's being watched...
Nick Dade is a hired gunmanthe best of the best. He's read Anya's file inside-out and, after weeks of surveillance, he's ready to pull the trigger...until someone else beats him to the punch. With his agenda shattered, Nick suddenly finds himself thrown together with the woman he's been sent to eliminate. Who is she really? Who hired the second hit? And who can he trust? Together Nick and Anna find themselves embroiled in a web of deceit and desire as an unknown enemy - one with dangerous ties to Anna's former life, and a present-day political assassination - closes in. To unravel the truth, Anna must face her past even if that means risking both Dade's life and her own...for good this time.

BOND GIRLS
by Gemma Halliday and Jennifer Fischetto
Available Summer 2012
Her name is Bond. Jamie Bond. And her life is about to be shaken and stirred in a cocktail of sex, lies, scandal, and one very dead body.
Jaime Bond, (legally dubbed "James Bond" by her father), is a former cover model who switches gears to take over the family business: The Bond Agency, a high-powered P.I. firm located in Los Angeles that specialized in domestic espionage - catching cheating husbands. Jaime's assembled a team of other disenchanted former models - the Bond Girls - to help her take names and kick derrieres among L.A.'s wealthiest philandering husbands. Her current client: Mrs. Althea Waterston, the young, distraught wife of superior court judge, Thomas Waterston, known for his tough sentencing, right-wing leanings, and his fondness for blondes with double D's. Easy target. But Jaime's simple case takes an unexpected turn for the worse when the not-so-good Judge winds up on the ten o'clock news with a bullet through his head. It's clear that someone has set Jaime up, and suddenly she's on the run, under fire, and in serious jeopardy of losing it all. With a hot D.A. on her trail, a killer on the lose, and her life on the line, Jaime must prove once and for all that nobody messes with a Bond Girl.
