Don''t look for me.

It was a simple instruction. And for six long years Carter Blake kept his word and didn''t search for the woman he once loved. But now someone else is looking for her.

He''ll come for you.

Trenton Gage is a hitman with a talent for finding people - dead or alive. His next job is to track down a woman who''s on the run, who is harbouring a secret many will kill for.

Both men are hunting the same person. The question is, who will find her first?
