"Someone is stalking agent Justine DeCabrillac through London's gray streets. Under cover of the rain, the assassin strikes--and Justine staggers to the door of the one man who can save her. The man she once loved. The man she hated. Adrian Hawkhurst. Adrian wanted the treacherous beauty known as 'Owl' back in his bed, but not wounded and clinging to life. Now, as he helps her heal, the two must learn to trust each other to confront the hidden menace that's trying to kill them--and survive long enough to explore the passion simmering between them once again."--from cover, p. [4]Great Romance novel! This story flows back and forth between the present storyline of Justine recovering from her injuries and the past events that shows the development and eventual breakdown of Justine's and Adrian's romance. There is plenty of action and angst as Justine and Adrian are spies working for different countries. Justine also has identity and romantic issues due to childhood sexual abuse which I thought the author handled well.
