  Summary

  Caroline Reed considered herself one of the best in her field. Granted, she had never met another collector working with Madam Nazar, but she was still convinced she was up there. This new quest, however, seemed absolutely impossible. Not only did she hold a strong grudge against any job that required elaborate scheming, she was also acutely aware of the risks that collaboration between collectors often brought. Being shot while sleeping, stabbed in the back while working or simply tied up and left behind in the desert only being a few examples.
  She had a whole list of reasons to refuse this job. And yet, she accepted - only to fall in love with her partner.
