Chapter One
She looked at the man sleeping peacefully beside her. It was not supposed to happen like this. He was her mark. She was supposed to have killed him. How the hell did she end up sleeping with him? But she knew the answer to that question. She got to close, became too emotionally involved.
It was an easy mark. Paul Troyos was not known as a particularly elusive man. As a matter of fact, he was rather hard to miss. Devastatingly handsome, he was said to be rather of a ladies' man, which was the reason Adrian Mycenaean wanted him dead. Apparently his daughter Ilyssa got tangled up in Paul's charm. Oh, well, not her problem, just as long as she got her money. All she had to do was to put herself in his path and get him alone. Unfortunately, things didn't really go as she had planned.
Not that she regretted anything they had done. This felt right to her. She had only known if for a few days, but she could not deny that she had fallen in love with him. However, in her profession, love was dangerous.
OoooOoooOoooO
Life had not been kind to Brea Troyos. Her mother and father had died when she was but of the tender age of three. Her uncle had taken her in and raised her as one of his own. And she had betrayed him and her family.
The worst thing was that she could not regret it. She had fallen in love, and that love had produced the one thing her world revolved around— her son, Patrick. Her cousins knew nothing of his father. She was afraid to let anyone know. The family had enough enemies as it was, no need to add more. However, she was not able to keep his identity from Andrea, but she had sworn her to secrecy.
Not that her lover knew anything about who she was. They had met away from this world, and had kept their relationship there. One of these days all of her deceptions were going to come back to haunt, and she feared that day with all her soul.
OoooOoooOoooO
Henry didn't like it. The Mycenaeans were up to something. They were recruiting allies from all over. He had a sneaking suspicious that the bad blood between the families were going to come to a head very soon.
