title: Stalemate
author: Sawyer, Rose
description: Nobody likes the game of cat and mouse more than Ellie Collins. It's what she's trained for. A deadly assassin, Ellie is seeking vengeance. She wants the man from her past, her childhood, to pay for his sins. Her journey leads her into the arms of Alex, a man who she thinks she has all figured out.
  
   Successful lawyer, Alex King, isn't looking for complicated. He isn't searching for anything that can possibly interfere with his well-orchestrated life. That is until he meets Ellie. Soon he becomes a pawn in her game of revenge. What starts as a whirlwind, lust-filled affair, their relationship spirals into something much more than either of them expected.
  
   When the pieces are set and the players are primed, can either break free from stalemate?
