Synopsis

"Hate me for as long as you want," he whispers. "And then admit that you love me. Even if it's only for a second, admit that you love me."

Elisa has been a murderer her entire life, starting with killing her parents at just two years old. By accident, yes, but it did happen. They're dead. The handler picked her up, let her parents rot in their home, and trained her to be one of the best assassins the world has ever known. But Elisa doesn't want any of it. Nothing. When ordered to murder a man, she flees. She flees from everything she's ever known. She then creates a new life. She's hopeful. That is until more death comes to Toronto. A murderer has come to town, and Elisa-now called Samantha-knows it is the handler's doing.

Five Hargreeves and Elisa Brookle are bound to hate each other. Bound to be each other's villain. Especially when Five gets ordered to assassinate her.
