She wasn't prepared for the trap that was set to catch her, much less for the renown Gabriel Arsenio to be dispatched to kill her. And to top it all off, the only person standing between her and her would-be killer right now was her shady ex-lover.However, now that she has encountered a youngster with a freakish knack for making things explode and Irish mercenaries have started to pursue her, getting murdered is the least of her issues. She couldn't help but be drawn to the murderer who wouldn't kill and the liar who would let the world burn despite her hunt for her brother and the fear of nuclear war.
