Publisher's Synopsis
This tale centers on a young New York City hit-woman named Renée and begins as she seeks vengeance for the torture-murder of her lover. She uses her seductive, manipulative, femme fatale nature to not only lure in men, but women as well. Renée hooks-up with a collection of great characters, mostly women who are not always what they seem, developing them into a team of female assassin-mercenaries. They may be demure and innocent-looking, but in reality, feisty and lethal.
Alexei is an assassin-trainer who lives in an old, remote castle outside London, speaks with a Belgian accent, and is quite the charmer. He refers to his female students as his nieces. In return for a year of tutelage, each promises a subsequent year of service fulfilling contracts. They all have their own perverse, deviant desires and manage to incorporate them into their assassinations and personal lives.
The reader follows the group on their missions and through their unusual personal relationships over a multi-year period, with an engaging combination of political and sexual intrigue.
Intended for the adult reader, parts are of a bisexual or lesbian nature, with elements of domination and submission.
Subsequent to finishing the original version, I wrote another story and the girls from that first edition unexpectedly managed to worm their way into the new tale. I've added it here as an encore.
