Lightning's Hand

by Mark Landon Jarvis

Overview

He lies about his job. She lies about her past. They lie to each other.

Rory Reed extracts the facts. He hurts people to death for information. Extraction is nothing to brag about, but he is really good at it, and he's never broken Contract. Still, it's repulsive work...so he hides it. Not the stuff you mention over coffee. Not a conversation for a first date. When his prospects and Contracts overlap, however, he can no longer compartmentalize. It plays hell with his calm.

Ashley Winston can't escape her fortune or the follies of her youth. A haunted heiress, scorched by the limelight, all she wants is a quiet life of anonymity. She's spent a decade propping up a convincing facade. Secrets, however, surface. Sometimes they are pried out. When she meets her unmaker, Ashley can't outrun the truth.

Maybe she can outfox him.

Maybe he can let this one go.
