Anya Petrova: An ice-cold assassin struggling with her lost humanity. Cole Sullivan: The charismatic spy who realizes he's fallen for the woman he was sent to neutralize.Historical Background: The construction of the Berlin Wall and the peak of espionage between the CIA and KGB.
My orders were simple: seduce the American attaché, extract the nuclear codes, and kill him if he compromised the mission. I was the KGB’s swallow, a weapon in high heels. Cole Sullivan was charming, arrogant, and beautifully American. It was supposed to be just a job. Then, I found his file in my handler's safe. He wasn't a diplomat. He was CIA, and his target... was *me*. We were dancing a waltz on the edge of a knife. Tonight, over dinner, one of us would have to die. Or maybe, just maybe, we’d burn the whole world down together.
