By My Own Betrayal - by Cydnie Trenholm (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

To live is Christ. To die is much more likely.

Raised as a skilled assassin, the young and ambitious Sadie Black knows nothing else; her only way to live is for someone to die. Doing otherwise would betray her sole support network and leave her at the wrong end of a gun-which is exactly where Sadie has landed herself.

Abandoning the life of a hired killer for a new life in Christ, Sadie must work with a self-reliant FBI agent and his cryptic superior to secure her freedom before a vengeful family can steal her back to the career she's desperately running from. Or they execute something a bit more...fatal.

Filled with sarcasm and intrigue, this contemporary faith-based novel proves itself as a must-read for adventure-seeking teens and new adults.
