According to a wise saying, 'a person often meets her destiny on the road she takes to avoid it'.
Twenty-year-old Lara Kingston, known by her code name Phoenix,, is a talented acrobat and a ruthless assassin.
Thirteen years ago, Lara lost everything she held dear – her parents, her inheritance and even her identity.
Everyone thought she was dead, a victim of a brutal assassination orchestrated by her very own extended family, her late father's twin brother.
However, Lara lived, not as the adorable heir of the Kingston fortune, but as a reject, sold to the highest bidder and robbed of her innocence and will to live.
Lara prayed for death to come quickly but was given a second chance at life by a dysfunctional, lethal gang family.
Now, she will rain terror on every man who has ever crossed her path, especially the one who took everything from her.
What would happen when Lara encounters a love-sick puppy who goes by the name, Dex Logan, – a man, who would do anything to thaw her frigid heart? Would she give him a chance at love, or would she rip his heart out for daring to love her?

Excerpt
"I'll give you a choice: Number one, I take off my mask and you get to see my face and suffer the consequences. Number two, I walk away now, and you never get to see me again. What number will it be, pretty boy?"
"Number one." Dex didn't think about the threatening clause behind the first option as he quickly made his choice.
"Hmm... Is that your final answer?" Phoenix walked back to him and stared directly into his eyes. "Because, once I take off my mask, there's no going back. You will be in for a long and bumpy ride."
"Take it off..." Dex reiterates, sounding like he was referring to something else than the mask. His eyes glinted with deep longing as he gazed into her glimmering eyes.
