When Liam Holiday joined N.E.R.D.S as an information specialist, he had never really expected to find love. That was until the old director was murdered and she came into his life. That she was Alexa Brand.

When he first met her, he thought she was beautiful; there was no question about it, black hair, grey eyes, stunning body. She had been like a female James Bond, she had saved the world dozens of times before she injured her leg and took this job. "What haveI done, he thought, I saved Canada once, but really that was nothing to her. In the 9 months he knew her so far, she had only smiled a few times, mainly showing her emotions through her eyes, her death glares could make anyone do anything. They talked a couple times, but she never gave anything up about her past.

She can kill with a smile,

She can wound with her eyes,

And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies,

And she only reveals what she wants you to see,

She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me.

He had fallen for her, hard. She had stolen his heart within a week of her being here. She was no nonsense, if you couldn't do it, she would do it herself.

She can lead you to love,

She could take or leave you.

She can ask for the truth,

But she'll never believe it.

And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free.

Yeah, she steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me.

Oh she takes care of herself,

She can wait if she wants; she's ahead of her time.

Ohh…. And she never gives out,

And she never gives in, she just changes her mind.

Maybe someday, he would get the courage to call her, ask her, out maybe, just maybe, marry her. In a way she could bring out the best and the worst of him, but she had been with dozens of guys, maybe she didn't love him, but then again maybe she did.

She'll promise you more than the Garden of Eden,

Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding.

But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be,

Blame it all on yourself because she's always a woman to me.
