Summary:
The dress they’re returning isn’t fake—it’s deadly

For contract killer Villanelle, the anonymous threat is explosive. Return the dress stolen during her last assignment—or other assassins will be hunted down. When an assassin is killed just before meeting MI5 employee Eve Polastri, Villanelle must take Eve under her “protection.”

For a psychopath, Villanelle is the most guilty-acting innocent woman Eve has ever seen. Still, working with Villanelle is the only way to stay ahead of a ruthless enemy. And as Eve’s instincts and Villanelle’s skills hone in on the truth, trusting the desire simmering between them could be their only chance—or the last move they’ll ever make.

(Summary modified from the summary of Reluctant Hero by Debra Webb and Regan Black.)

Notes: Contains mentions of the ending of Season One and has sexual content (no sex) and minor character death. Story will probably not adhere to canon when Season Two finally airs.

Just a heads up that the url for the Ao3 link needs to be fixed. :)

Fixed (way too late, my time), thanks! (It's already in the AO3 collection, btw.)
