Good beach read. Silhouette bombshell -

CIA Black Ops assassin Vanessa Clark faked her death in order to escape her life as a trained killer. She reinvents herself as a West Hollywood psychiatrist Doctor Olivia Mills and has prayed every night for the past three years that her past will not come back to haunt her though she knows she did a near perfect job of burying Vanessa.---------------------------- However, one simple call from a Mr. Soderbaum informs her that she failed when he asks her to kill her research scientist boyfriend Jeffrey. She realizes her past as Agent Sheara, Goddess of death, has been reactivated by an enemy the Phantom. Not sure why Jeffrey needs to be killed, she drives east with him to DC to keep him safe and to learn who brought her in from the cold. Her former partner and lover Holt Landry who betrayed her once, set her up to come home because he needs her help to clear both their names on an assignment that went ugly.----------------------- PAST SINS is a fast-paced thriller starring two individuals who do not trust one another, but need each other if they are to survive the current operation. The story line is filled with action once Holt and Vanessa team up though the web of lies from their past make them less effective than they would have been otherwise. Though the support cast including Jeffrey never seems fully developed, fans of tense espionage thrillers will enjoy the escapades of a pair of top agents running the gauntlet to prove they are clean
