~Synopsis~
Determined to live a dark life in the company of the assassin who freed her from bondage, Sarai sets out on her own to settle a score with an evil sadist. Unskilled and untrained in the art of killing, the events that unfold leave her hanging precariously on the edge of death when nothing goes as planned.
Sarai’s reckless choices send her on a path she knows she can never turn back from and so she presents Victor with an ultimatum: help her become more like him and give her a fighting chance, or she’ll do it alone no matter the consequences. Knowing that Sarai cannot become what she wants to be overnight, Victor begins to train her and inevitably their complicated relationship heats up.
As Arthur Hamburg’s right-hand man, Willem Stephens, closes in on his crusade to destroy Sarai, she is left with the crushing realization that she may have bitten off more than she can chew. But Sarai, taking on the new and improved role of Izabel Seyfried, still has a set of deadly skills of her own that will prove to be all she needs to secure her place beside Victor.
But there is one test that Izabel must face that has the potential to destroy everything she is working so hard to achieve. One final test that will not only make her question her decision to want this dangerous life, but will make her question everything she has come to trust about Victor Faust.

Victor
reaches up and touches my wet hair. The gesture causes my heart to race. “You
have a good sense of people, Sarai,” he says as his hand moves to my chin. “You’re
right about Fredrik…,” the pad of his thumb brushes my bottom lip. A shiver
races between my legs. “He is…shall I say…unhinged in a sense.” My breathing
picks up and I feel my lashes sweep my face when Victor’s lips fall upon “Unhinged
in what way,” I ask breathily when he pulls back. With my eyes closed, I sense
his scanning the curvature of my face and my lips, and I feel the breath
emitting softly from his nostrils onto my face.
Every
miniscule hair stands on end when his other hand pushes up my thigh and finds my
naked waist underneath the shirt. His long fingers dance against the flesh of
my hipbone and then rests there.
I
open my eyes to see him staring back into mine. “Is something wrong?” he asks
and his mouth sweeps mine again. “No, I…I just didn’t expect this.”
“Expect
what?” I feel his fingers fit behind the elastic of my panties. My head is
swimming, my stomach a fluttering, nervous ball of muscle. “This,” I answer, my
eyes opening and closing. “You’re different,” I add softly.
“That’s
your fault,” he says and then his lips devour mine.He pushes my body back
against the couch pillows and falls between my legs.His cell phone buzzes
around on the coffee table and I’m reminded just how human I really am when I
curse Fredrik for ruining this moment even if it’s to let me know that Dina is
safe.
