Fifteen

It was a long, miserable night at work. Nica’s temper was short and her attention strained. The minute MacCreedy disappeared into the back office with LaRoche, she could think of nothing else but their conversation. What would happen to the New Orleans clan if Max Savoie was dead?

More important, what would it mean to her?

She wasn’t just an assassin, she was considered the best. Though she didn’t know the particulars, the fee for her services was enormous. She was in high demand because she was quick, deadly, left no traces, and she had no idea who hired her.

While Savoie was protecting his family and clan from the crude, mindless Trackers, he should have been fearing a more sophisticated enemy.

Her assignment in New Orleans had come so fast after her last one, she’d had little time to unwind. She’d been given little information. Get in place, become invisible, and be ready on a moment’s notice. She hadn’t been told who the assignment was, only that her success would guarantee her notoriety. As the only female in a highly competitive field, she’d won her accolades through diligence and an absolutely merciless success rate. Her targets were usually political, though she had no interest in views or causes, only in habits that would provide her with a single vulnerable moment.

She had no interest in fame, only in the promised reward.

She’d been in New Orleans for several weeks, longer than she’d been in one place since she’d started. She’d settled all too easily into the routine of her cover life, gotten comfortable here, dulling the razor sharpness of her edge. And she liked the sense of normalcy, of friendships. Of flirting with the idea of love.

But what she’d allowed to happen was beyond dangerous to her own situation. It jeopardized others.

She’d been lying to herself that having some hot fun with MacCreedy would do no harm. He was becoming a huge weakness in her armor of indifference. But she didn’t need to worry; he was purely temporary. He’d made his future plans very clear, and the lucky woman in them wasn’t her. There was no place for an itinerate assassin in his warm and fuzzy family ideals. There’d never been a place for her anywhere.

And with Savoie gone, they could both get on to their futures that much faster.

What she hadn’t counted on was Savoie’s impact. He was a remarkable philanthropist, a protector of the local clan, a moderate influence upon the fragile criminal balance, and the man of her childhood idol’s dreams. If Savoie was dead, she was going to have to deal with it.

She was so deep in thought, the light touch of fingertips almost made her drop her tray. She turned abruptly, wedging it between her and MacCreedy.

He looked tired. He had taken off his tie and the first few buttons of his shirt were open, exposing crisp chest hair. She longed to bury her nose there.

“Any news?” Her voice sounded thin and strange.

He shook his head. “Nothing yet. What a mess.
