Calculated Little Risk: Jane’s First Black Book Mission

Every Legend Starts Somewhere

Most people meet Jane as a voice on the other end of a secure line, or as the last face they see.

She’s calm. Calculated. Lethal.

The woman who always seems to know more than she should.

The woman who sends Marin into impossible situations and somehow expects her to survive them.

What most people don’t realise is that Jane wasn’t born knowing how to navigate a world of assassins, intelligence networks, and dangerous secrets.

She was taught.

And her father taught her very well.

Her Inheritance Was a Black Book

Every survivor has an origin story.

For Jane, it begins with loss.

A car bomb.

Dead parents.

And the sudden realisation that the people responsible weren’t finished yet.

Most people would disappear.

Run.

Hide.

Jane does something else.

She starts hunting those who thought she would be easy prey.

Knowledge Is Survival

The Black Book isn’t just a collection of names.

It’s a blueprint.

A survival guide built from decades of hard lessons, intelligence work, and knowing exactly how dangerous people operate.

Jane’s father understood something most people don’t.

Information is power.

Not because it lets you control the world.

Because it helps you survive it.

In Calculated Little Risk, Jane inherits more than a notebook.

She inherits a responsibility.

And a promise to save a life.

The Woman Behind the Legend

Readers of the Holiday Quick Kills series already know who Jane becomes.

The woman with contingency plans for her contingency plans.

The woman who somehow always stays three moves ahead.

The woman even professional killers think twice about crossing.

Calculated Little Risk is the story of how she got there.

Before the network.

Before the resources.

Before the confidence.

Back when survival wasn’t guaranteed, and every decision carried a cost.

Every Calculation Has a Price

Jane’s greatest strength has never been violence.

It’s calculation.

Knowing when to trust.

When to run.

When to fight.

And when a risk is worth taking.

Calculated Little Risk is her first mission.

Her first step into a world that will eventually create one of the most dangerous women in the Quick Kills universe.

If you’ve ever wondered how Jane became Jane…

This one’s for you.

Calculated Little Risk is available now!

Because legends aren’t born.

They’re forged in fire.
