Assassin By Day

by Tessa Robertson

Genre: Thriller

What would you do if the mystery to your mother’s death lay with your employer?

After years of unanswered questions, Mishka Vald sets out to uncover the skhodka’s involvement in her past. What she doesn’t expect is to join forces with men who push her to become a double-agent and confirm her future. While hunting down leads, the ruthless assassin realizes a life in the shadows is the only way for her to protect those she loves.

For Mishka, forbidden love is worth the pain when it comes to Eddie Harper, a military man turned cop. Her affection waivers when duty comes first and she joins forces with an elite Russian soldier, Alexei Petrovich. With a blackmailer threatening her school love, she seeks refuge with a fellow assassin, Nickolas Volkov. And when pushed too far, she’s ushered to a secure location…and straight into the arms of mysterious handyman, Dylan Kain. As the pieces fall into place, their mangled order reveals each man’s true intention. Whose deceit can she accept and whose will obliterate her?

All roads lead back to the woman she thought dead—her mother. Now, as weddings are crashed and alliances tested, Mishka uncovers a deadly game and the players involved. Her heart, once unable to budge, is thrust into action, but which man can keep her soul intact?

Book 2

The skhodka isn’t done with their best assassin yet.

Too bad for them, as a rivaling mob – the vory – holds Mishka Vald captive. The real kicker? She’s trapped in her mother’s clutches with the two men she loves, with no escape from the devious scheme Alena Vald cooked up to destroy the skhodka.

After spiriting across the globe with one man in tow, Mishka comes face to face with her past. Piecing together the distorted memories would be easy if someone hadn’t tampered with them.

Can Mishka slip through the grips of warring Russian mobs for a chance at a normal life? Find out in Catalyst at Night., the sequel to Assassin by Day.

Tell us about your main characters- what makes them tick?

My two main characters are Mishka Vald and Nickolas Petrovich. Both are involved in a Russian mafia. Mishka is an assassin and Nickolas is a handler of sorts. I don’t want to give too much away about their characters, but I will say that their families involved them in the mafia at a young age. Following her mother’s death, Mishka decides to investigate the mafia. What she finds only furthers her intuition that the mafia she’s known all her life isn’t what she believed. As for Nickolas, he is dedicated to saving himself. Well, himself and Mishka. They’ve always had a close bond, despite differences, and he comes up with a way for both of them to escape the mafia.

Where did you come up with the names in the story?

I love to research the history of names when it comes to naming characters. Most of the characters have Russian names because of their connection with the Russian mob. For my day job, I work at a criminal defense law office. That gave me both parts of Nickolas Petrovich’s name by combining a few different people I’ve come across while at the firm. Mishka’s name came from my online research. I wanted a strong, female name that wasn’t overused and Mishka was born.

Tessa Robertson has been landlocked in the heart of Iowa, USA for the better portion of her life. She grew up on sci-fi and action movies, but isn't nearly a ninja...yet. Since childhood, writing stories and reading have been a constant. Moonlighting in a law firm, she takes on her favorite cases: criminal. Her stories push the limits of standard characters and explore the thriller facets of romance and action.

In her spare time, Tessa attempts to teach her Australian Shepherd and Golden Retriever new tricks; spends copious time with family; catches up on her favorite shows; and listens to country music.
