Keres Russo embodies a deadly secret. Sent away at just twelve by her ruthless mafia uncle, she was trained by a skilled assassin. Now, she works as a contract killer for 'the family,' a role she despises.

​

When Uncle J assigns Keres to eliminate a young rival, Torin Stevanto, she falters. Torin has a secret weapon of his own: a loyal bodyguard who intervenes in the assassination attempt. Keres barely escapes with her life.

​

Since Keres’ failed hit on him three years ago, Torin clenched his power over the city. John Russo has been killed by his own son, and it’s time to move on.  Torin succumbs to a planted distraction, never guessing that her seduction is just another hit until it's too late. He survives, again, but he’ll need to enlist the help of someone just like her to exact his vengeance and draw out the shadowy figure targeting him. 

​

Ryan is caught completely off guard by Torin's plan, Keres is a killer just as he is. He knows he failed his best friend twice, but he’ll be damned if another woman causes his best friend any more pain. And if he lets Keres get close, he knows Torin will fall in love with the assassin. Hell, he's already in love with just the idea of her...

​

Keres, Torin, and Ryan are locked in a deadly game of trust, where dark secrets cost lives…
