Meet Naomi & Vasily in the newest addition to the Hitman Series
**The
first book in the series, Last Hit, has been optioned for a movie by Flame
Ventures.**
Naomi: When I was kidnapped I thought
only of survival. I don’t thrive well in chaos. That’s why I gave my captors
exactly what they wanted: my skill with computers. Making millions for a crime
lord who kept me imprisoned in his basement compound kept my family safe. When
he was taken out, I thought my ticket to freedom had arrived. Wrong. I traded
one keeper for another. This time I’m in the hands of a scarred, dark,
demanding Russian who happens to be the head of the Bratva, a Russian crime
organization. He wants my brain and my body. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t
intrigued, but I can’t be a prisoner forever...no matter how good he makes me
feel.
Vasily: At a young age, I was taught that
a man without power is a puppet for all. I’ve clawed—and killed—my way to the
top so that it is my heel on their necks. But to unify the fractured
organization into an undefeatable machine, I need a technological genius to
help me steal one particular artifact. That she is breathtaking, determined,
and vulnerable is making her more dangerous than all of my enemies combined.
But only I can keep her safe from the world that she now inhabits. Soon, I must
choose between Naomi and Bratva law. But with every day that passes, this
becomes a more impossible choice.
“I told you I don’t
like to be touched. Do you have a hearing deficit?” She frowns. “Because at
first I was concerned that perhaps it is your English, but you seem to speak it
quite well. Maybe it is your hearing then? You are young to have hearing
problems. Is it hereditary? The most common birth defect is diminished hearing.
Genetics are responsible for at least sixty percent of hearing deficits in
infants so it’s most likely your hearing loss is due to your parents. Were one
or more of your parents hearing challenged?”
I look at her blankly.
“Deaf. That’s what I
mean by hearing challenged. Challenged is the word you’re supposed to use
instead of other things. Like instead of mute, voice challenged. Or instead of
handicapped, it’s physically challenged. I learned that in college. I’m
socially challenged, but maybe it doesn’t translate into Russian. You’re
Russian, right?”
“Yes. What does it
matter?”
“It doesn’t. There was
a Russian student in my art history course. Your accent was similar. I remember
him telling me he was from a certain region—southern maybe? I didn’t much like
the course. My advisor forced me to take it, saying that I needed some liberal
arts to make my education well rounded, but learning about painting and
politics did not assist me in creating better code. I like to write code. Code
makes sense. Art does not.”

Jill Myles has been an
incurable romantic since childhood. She reads all the 'naughty parts' of books
first, looks for a dirty joke in just about everything, and thinks to this day
that the Little House on the Prairie books should have been steamier.
After devouring hundreds of paperback romances, mythology books, and archaeological tomes, she decided to write a few books of her own - stories with a wild adventure, sharp banter, and lots of super-sexy situations. She prefers her heroes alpha and half-dressed, her heroines witty, and she loves nothing more than watching them overcome adversity to fall into bed together.
