Angel and the Assassin

but he hardly ever held it anymore. “Daddy, what did you mean about
    my education? I took the tests for SIS, and my training is supposed to begin as soon
    as the holidays are over.”
    “I‟ve changed my mind. I spoke to Conran before Christmas about teaching so I
    can stay home more with you. You‟re going to sixth form college to get your GCSEs.
    You‟re a bright boy. You won‟t have any trouble. Then you can get your A levels and
    go to uni.”
    Angel sat up. “I don‟t want to. Daddy, I want to do what you do. You said I‟d be
    good at it.”
    “That was before you almost got killed. I‟ve changed my mind, and you‟ll do as
    you‟re told. Now go to sleep.”
    “Daddy! I thought it was all decided. You‟re the best there is. You‟ll keep me
    safe.”
    “I can‟t spend my life rescuing you.” He‟d be sick with worry every time Angel
    went on an assignment. No, it would not work. He had made his decision. Angel was
    going to sixth form college, and Kael was going to teach. “End of conversation.”
    Angel curled up against his side.
    “I love you, sweetheart; I can‟t risk losing you again.”

    I grew up in Liverpool, England, with a great love of books and the English
    language. As an adult I moved to Canada, but I return to England to visit every few
    years to remind myself of my roots. I love writing and I love romance, so bringing
    the two together is a perfect fit. Precious Jade, my first published book, was
    inspired by a visit to the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, in early 2009. I have always had
    a fascination with assassins and could not resist writing about one in my new book,
    Angel and the Assassin .
