Lodge owner Nadia Stafford gave teenager Sammi Ernst a job when nobody else would. Nadia hired her clean rooms at the lodge and let her bring her three-month-old baby to work with her. One day Sammi just didn't show up for work. People around town say that she took the baby and left. Nadia isn't buying it. She had just given Sammi the extra hours at the lodge that she requested. Nadia is an ex-cop who now runs the lodge and does contract killing on the side. When the local police are no help, she decides to dig deeper and find Sammi for herself. With the help of her mentor, Jack, they discover what happened to Sammi and her daughter, Destiny.

This is the second book in the Nadia Stafford series. It picks up several months after the last book. Nadia and Jack get help from Quinn, another hitman with ties to the Federal Government. I thought the investigation was interesting. The characters are well developed and you come to see why Nadia would choose to be a hitman for the mob. As with the last book, I wanted to smack Jack for not telling Nadia how he feels about her. I also thought Nadia needed a smack for being so oblivious about his feelings for her.

I had a hard time putting this book down. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
