Killer Instinct — Cindy Dees

Q: What's beautiful, hard to trace...and cold as ice?

A: Black-market diamonds. And Amanda McClintock, the covert operative assigned to dismantle a diamond smuggling ring. Thanks to Amanda's double-agent father, killer instinct was in her blood. Her most lethal weapon: cold professionalism. But Amanda was burning out, and even her new partner, a disturbingly attractive rookie, had begun to notice. Cracking up was not an option. Neither was giving in. So the weary spy would make one last run, never guessing it would set her on a collision course with the deadly legacy of her own shadowy past.
