This is the third book I have read of Ms. Holt's.  What I love most about her writing style is that she creates vivid imagery and deep emotion.Nicholas is the Assassin.  Sent under false pretenses for the Lady Annabel he must travel with her to her uncle's keep for protection.  What Annabel doesn't know is that the man escorting her is the one she needs protection from.  He is perplexed by her trust in him.  He knows she views him as a knight, duty-bound to protect her, so he tries (and fails) to keep a stone wall between them.Annabel is the Angel.  Her way of seeing the good in others brings out the best in everyone she meets.  Even the cold-hearted assassin.  Despite his best efforts to push her aside, to block her from getting too close, Annabel finds a way in to his heart. She may be his only shot at redemption from a life of sin.But, Uncle Benedict, who hired Nicholas also has a change of heart when his plans fall apart.  This change means danger for both Annabel and Nicholas.  It also reveals everyone's true colors and intentions; which turns everything upside down in a very short time.Ms. Holt's ability to bring fictional characters to life has made me a fan for life.  She uses for reference places that actually have existed at some time.  This lends a feeling of realism that you don't get from other fictional pieces.  Then, bring forth the flawed hero who ends up seeking redemption and a heroine that is fated to help him and that equals a book of deep emotion, tons of conflict and an ending that makes your heart flutter.  Once again...Loved it!
