Josephine
By Mandy N. Olivieri
A government reformer/assassin is trained in everything but love.
Agent Josephine Vero is emotionally numb, surviving by rules that reward obedience and erase feeling. When a rogue agent assigned to her doesn’t fit the mold of a typical agent under restructuring, she begins to sense the limits of a life she thought she was well suited for.
Josephine isn’t a story about assassins and spies… well, maybe just a little. It’s about what happens when the agency’s only female reformer does the one thing she isn’t trained for: fall in love.
