GRACE
TEN YEARS AGO, I died, replaced by someone else. Katarina Adams
Romanov was a distant memory of the past. A girl who laughed and loved
life. Someone who didn’t know the real monsters of the world were wealthy
men in suits.
Someone knocked on the door. Chills raced down my spine. No one
ever came to our house, not even my dad’s work friends. I pushed up from
the couch and looked through the peephole.
It was my grandfather.

Shit.
I hadn’t seen him since he sent me to live with Colonel Jonathan Hale,
my adoptive father. The man who gave me his last name and a new life, one
that was the closest to normal I’d ever had.
“Open the fucking door, Grace!” Grandfather pounded his fist on the
wood. “I know you’re in there. And I know you can hear me, you little
brat.”
With a sigh, I opened the door. Fitzgerald Archibald Adams IV stood in
the entryway, donning a ten thousand dollar suit and wearing a watch that
cost more than a Ferrari. He was wealthier than a sultan and carried himself
like he owned the world.
“Hello, Grandfather,” I said with a mocking smile that matched the
annoyance in my tone. “How have you been?”
A rumble that sounded like a growl escaped his throat as he pushed his
palm into my chest, throwing me backward so he could enter the house.
“Where is your good-for-nothing father hiding?”
I would never use those words to describe my dad. He risked his life to
ensure my safety and always put me first.
Before I could answer, the Colonel stepped through the front door,
slamming it behind him. He was an hour later than usual and wore a
worried expression that tugged at his dark features. He looked like he’d
aged months since I saw him that morning over breakfast.
He dropped his keys on the entrance table, and his gaze swept across the
room in surprise. “Fitzgerald?”
“You have a new assignment.” Grandfather moved his hands to his hips
and squared off with my dad. “One that requires you to leave immediately.”
Dad’s eyes flicked to me. “What about Grace?”
“She’s coming with me.”
After being Grace Hale for the past ten years, I barely remembered
Katarina. That girl was dead. At least, she was most of the time. Whenever
the flashbacks and nightmares reared their ugly head, my dad sent me to a
doctor. Katarina disappeared along with the vivid dreams.
Besides, Grace had a much better life. She wasn’t a prisoner, even
though her life still sucked. Because of my last name and what that meant to
dangerous, powerful people, I would never have a normal life.
Dad shoved his hands into his pockets, his gaze moving between us.
“Where are you taking her?”
Grandfather brushed a speck of lint off his black jacket and sneered.
“She’ll stay with the Marshalls until you return. Question and answer time
is over, Colonel.” His cold, hard stare turned to me. “Pack your shit and
meet me in the limo. You have five minutes, or you’ll walk to Devil’s Creek
from here.”
