Miranda is an assassin for a secret society headed by a woman called the Judge. The Judge's clients come from every walk of life; maybe their child was molested or their daughter was raped. Whatever the case, Miranda's face is the last face the target will ever see. Driven by hatred for her own rapist, Miranda seeks justice for those who cannot find it on their own. She uses her petite size and auburn curls to appear innocent, which allows her to approach her targets. She is a one-woman crew; trained in martial arts by the Judge's teachers and deadly with most weapons. She uses unorthodox methods and she lives by her own set of rules dubbed Miranda's Laws, which keep her alive and out of jail. She gives her clients peace of mind but can she obtain the same peace by finding her own rapist? When Miranda meets Nash Shapiro, a gorgeous sword dealer, the heart she's been trying to hide decides to ride her sleeve. Caught between two men and surrounded by her handsome colleagues, Miranda feels like a lady slipper in a dark forest Just Deserts: An Assassin's Tale proves that you can love after being hurt, you can move on after loss, and you can trust after being betrayed.
