WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE IS INVITED STRAIGHT INTO THE HEART OF YOUR HOUSE? Seven years ago, Rhysa Jiang ran. She buried her past, chose to start over from a clean slate. She became a near legend, the only female Iron Wolf, deciding to become something new. They've hunted her down ever since, and until now she'd managed to evade their search. But now they've been invited to Sai. The Scarlet Palace. Her only home, her safe haven. And Rhysa has a suspicious feeling she's not going to be able to escape the Falcons' grasp this time. After all, she's a deserter, and those pay in blood around here. Dominic Lang had learnt long ago that Rhysa's past was something that shouldn't be dug up. Sure, he had his suspicions, but after being partners for six years, you learnt to trust someone. And if there was one thing he knew about Rhys, it was that the girl was fearless. So her sudden terror makes no sense. Her sudden caution, her sudden reluctance to even show her face in public is completely baffling. And he'll get to the bottom of this. Because Rhysa Jiang had been hiding the entirety of herself from him for too long, because there was nothing he loved more than a good mystery and challenge, and Rhys might just be the biggest one of all. It was just what friends do. (book #1 of 4 in the court of bones series, the third instalment in the silk and steel chronicles can be read as a stand-alone)

Daneira Pang never asked for this life. It's a lonely path, and Aleksandr Volkov is one of her only reprieves in the constant life-and-death situations she lived through daily. And when he crashes into her house and announces that the Black Camellia has been sighted within the country, she's ecstatic. After all, they'd both been hunting the assassin for years, and that's also why she knew this wouldn't be easy. There were only two reasons and two reasons alone why Aleksandr Volkov had willingly accepted this mission and went into the eye of the storm: one, because one of the Black Camellia's first targets had been his childhood friend; and two, because Danna was in Melique, and damned if he was going to let her face the Black Camellia alone. The two agents would go to the end of the world to apprehend the assassin-and for each other. (Book Two of The Lady Kuroki's School for Girls trilogy)
