About this ebook
Esana just wants a private place to avoid the hubbub of the annual company party. What she finds? An assassination attempt on the son of the biggest of bosses.
If anyone else finds out, her reputation—and his? At risk. Fatally.
Not to mention her best-kept secret about her special talents…
A flirty action story with light sci fi aspects for readers who love hyper-competent characters in high-pressured situations.
Liana Brooks
Liana Brooks once read the book GOOD OMENS by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and noted that both their biographies invited readers to send money (or banana daiquiris). That seems to have worked well for them. Liana prefers strawberry daiquiris (virgin!) and will never say no to large amounts of cash in unmarked bills. Her books are sweet and humorous with just enough edge to keep you reading past your bedtime. Liana was born in San Diego and in addition to there has lived in Illinois, Colorado, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Kansas. We'd like to tell you where she is right now, but last we checked she was researching books on both Alaska and Africa. Not only are the bookstore algorithms breaking trying to track this lady, but we can't tell you where to mail that daiquiri. Your best bet is to try Twitter where you can often find @LianaBrooks talking about her four kids, her giant dog, and plans for world domination.

Perhaps the dress was a little much. It was a yearly party to celebrate the company and most other people had come in the same clothes they’d worn last time. Some had even come straight from work.
Esana paused outside the main ballroom and looked at the gold-tinted mirror. The white dress had been bought years ago on a whim, shimmering white with a teardrop neckline that clasped around her neck and plummeted down in a slinky slide of snowy crystals with a generous scoop to display her cleavage. It had sat at the back of her closet all this time and it wasn’t going to be too many more years before eating too much at her desk and forgetting to workout made the dress unwearable.
She twisted. If she looked better than everyone else at the party, so be it. That was the price they would have to pay for not putting in the effort.
A loud laugh broke out and then thunderous applause as the lights died and the main entertainment began. A concert with live performers. The room felt crowded even from the wrong side of the door.
Come this way, the stairs whispered. Up on the balcony. Away from the crowds. You’ll be safe here. No one will notice.
It was a good idea. After all, she’d made an appearance, greeted everyone who needed to see her in attendance, and there was no one saving a seat on the main floor. On an empty balcony she could enjoy the concert and then escape as soon as everything was over.
The long dress pooled around her feet and made her take the stairs
