It’s not often Jaide Winters hears her given name cross the lips of other’s. Although she’s often called “lethal,” “smart,” and “beautiful,” she’s Angel Face to most—the deadliest assassin in the world.
After spending weeks in the jungle tracking down the brother of the biggest drug lord in South America, Angel Face finally makes the kill. She knows big brother Cortez won’t take well to the news but isn’t bothered since he’s her next target.
Upon returning home to plan the last stage of the mission, she receives devastating news, propelling her into one of the most emotionally challenging missions she’s ever had to undertake—one that could end her career.
Uncovering details at every corner, she is led in an unexpected direction. The newly discovered information causes war between her mind and her heart, and it’s such a new feeling that she can only hope she’s able to stay alive.
What’s your name? I ask. His dirty smile is lazy. His matted hair is wild, and his wet clothes smell of gunpowder and body odor.
We’re almost there, mi amor. He laughs and pulls his fingers away, dodging my question. He stretches his long legs across the van and clasps his hands behind his head.
Cortez has been waiting on you for a long time. Has he? I ask, my interest piquing with his candor.
Yes. You’re the one person he knew he would have to work for, and he made it his goal to work hard for you. And…here you are. I bet he’s feeling…how you say? Victory?
I bet he is… I respond softly, more to myself than to him. His word vomit keeps spilling out, and I let him talk, hoping he spills something useful. In this business, you learn the most from people who love to talk.
When he learned you were after his brother, he made it his goal to find you first. When he failed, he was a monster, an angry monster we could barely talk to.
Everything was about you. The whole crew had to abandon everything else. Today will be the best day of his life, I think. He stops talking, shutting off the stream of information.
He lies quietly for a while before closing his eyes, and the information sits in the air between us.
