Cold Zero: the sniper's term for the one shot you get at finishing the job. The moment of finality. You can practice until your barrel grows red hot, but Cold Zero - the first irrevocable pull of the trigger - is the only statement anyone will remember. It is not just a moment, it is a state of mind.
The story revolves around Lady Catriona Hennessy, an independent woman, and Richard Cynster, a charming rake.
