Excerpt from Lucky's Charm
Things get complicated for Lucky as her
feelings for Kenji bubble to the surface…
“I’m
not…good at this anymore.” Lucky puffed out a heavy breath and clutched the
phone. “I can’t wrap my mind around it. I’ve really tried to forget you.”
“Why?”
“Because, I
can’t want…this.”
“What
do you mean?”
“Be
with someone while doing what I do. Sharing my life… I haven’t for a long time.
I don’t see how I can do it with—”
“Another
killer?”
That
stopped her cold. Lucky shut her eyes and banged her head against the wall. Not
only was it the oddest conversation she’d ever have, it frightened her because
he was dead on.
“Why add to the
torment?” she snapped.
“Being
with you was far from torture.” His reply was husky and saturated with
innuendo. Lucky ignored the ripples of electricity on her skin.
“We’re
not good people, Kenji. I’ve already accepted that, but I think you’ve still
got blinders on.”
“No,
I have a sense we are more alike than you realize. I know why you eliminated
McKowen. He was a vile man.”
“Yeah…
We might be the bad guys, but we’re never the villains.” Lucky softened her
tone. “We’re not heroes either, just stuck in the middle somewhere.”
“This
is what we do, not who we are. It does not change what happened between us. We
should not ignore this.”
“I
don’t know….” The contact with him did something to her, but finding the words
to explain it seemed impossible. Lucky did want to see him again, though, not
for all the right reasons.
“Where
are you, right now?”
“Miami,”
he said immediately. “Let me come to you, wherever you wish.”
“I….” The
confusion twisted through her. He was determined without being forceful.
“The
choice is yours. Call me after you complete your task,” he said without demand.
“Okay.”
To protect her family
and find a killer, Felicia “Lucky” Fascino assumed her adoptive father’s
identity and joined the network, an organization of moral assassins to finish
the job he began. Eliminating the man responsible for murdering her mother has
consumed her for the last five years. While keeping her Uncle Stephen and
cousin Elizabeth at arm’s length, Lucky begins to feel the weight of her career
choice and reclusive lifestyle. Then a chance encounter with an enigmatic hit
man, during one of her jobs, turns into a provocative and dangerous affair.
Distracted by the secret trysts with Kenji Zinn and mounting tension within her
family, Lucky makes reckless mistakes that threaten her livelihood and almost
claim her life.

Loved the excerpt, and the cover is rocking, too. :-) Love Jenn's eclectic writing nature (adding thriller aspects to sic-fi, etc.), some of my favorite stories are genre benders.
