Shortness of breath

Efficient. Attractive. Professional. Lily Mansfield is a hitman. She works for the CIA and knows no mercy. Her targets are powerful and corrupt, outside the law.

After nineteen years of loyal service, Lily finds herself drawn into a dangerous game. This time, she plays by her own rules. She wants revenge. Even though she knows she can be taken out in the blink of an eye, she is determined to go down fighting.

When her actions begin to be noticed and she compromises her superiors, Agent Lucas Swain is assigned to the case. His orders: bring Lily Mansfield back into the service or take her out. Swain recognizes her traumatized soul, but cannot understand why Lily is suddenly driven by personal motives. In uncovering her motives, he encounters an enemy who stalks them like a bloodhound.
