It’s a job that makes a killing. Efficient, professional, and without apology, Lily Mansfield is a hired assassin, working as a contract agent for the CIA. Her targets are the powerful and corrupt, those who can't be touched by the law.Now, after 18 years of service, Lily has been drawn into a dangerous game that hasn't been sanctioned, seeking vengeance for her own reasons. Each move bolder than the next, she is compromising her superiors, drawing unwanted attention and endangering her very life. Though stress and shock have made her feel somewhat invincible and a little cocky, Lily knows that she too can be taken out in an instant. And if it’s her time, so be it. She intends to go down fighting.A CIA agent himself, Lucas Swain recognizes the signs of trauma in the line of fire. His orders are to either bring her in or bring her down. Yet he too is drawn into the game with Lily Mansfield, dancing on a tightrope as he tries to avoid a major international incident while still battling a tenacious foe who is dogging their every step. Keeping laser focus on her task at hand while vigilantly watching her back, Mansfield never sees the lethal peril that lies directly in her path...and how loyalty has a price.

The main character in Linda Howard's KISS ME WHILE I SLEEP is Lily Mansfield, an assassin for the CIA. Her two best friends, former CIA agents Averill and Tina, and their adopted daughter Zia --- a girl who Lily rescued after she was abandoned as a baby --- are brutally murdered.Lily investigates and finds out that Averill and Tina performed one last assignment: blowing up a laboratory. The owner of that laboratory, Salvatore Nervi, is a powerful organized crime boss who has the family killed as payback for destroying his lab. Lily makes it her mission to avenge the deaths of her friends, and she does so by killing Salvatore. She is masterful at disguises, which comes in handy as she begins dodging Salvatore's son, Rodrigo, and the CIA.The CIA sends out one of their best agents, Lucas Swain, after Lily to terminate her because she has committed an unauthorized kill --- it doesn't help Lily that Salvatore was an informant for the CIA. As Lucas becomes involved with Lily and finds out why she did what she did, he is torn between completing his assignment and helping Lily carry out her revenge mission. The two begin falling in love with each other, which complicates matters further. The twists and turns of the missions will keep readers turning pages, as well as the budding romance between the protagonists.Both Lily and Lucas are likable characters and, despite their glamorous occupations as spies, very realistic. Readers will understand Lily's motives for revenge. It's obvious that killing is no easy matter for Lily; she has always justified her actions with the idea that it must be the right thing to do if her government tells her to do it. Readers will also understand the struggle Lucas has about how to handle his assignment.
