It was supposed to be a simple mission.
Get to Paris. Find Lalisa Manoban. Make her do one good thing.
Simple.
Except nothing about Lisa was simple.
I had one month left to earn the feathers I needed to complete my wings and ascend to Empyrean-the place every angel dreamed of reaching.
One hundred feathers. That was all I needed.
And Lisa was supposed to be my easiest assignment yet.
Twenty-five years old. Leader of the Mafia. A sinner with blood on her hands and no interest in redemption.
A Triple.
My job was to make her perform a single act of genuine kindness.
In return, I'd receive one hundred feathers.
But the moment I met Lisa, I knew I'd made a mistake.
She was dangerous, arrogant, and far too charming for someone who was supposed to be damned.
And somehow, every conversation with her cost me more feathers instead of earning them.
I should have walked away.
Instead, I became determined to save her.
Lisa, on the other hand, seemed determined to destroy me.
At first, I thought she wanted my wings.
Then I realized she wanted something much more dangerous.
Me.
And the closer we got, the harder it became to remember which one of us was supposed to be saving the other.
Because Lalisa Manoban didn't just want to ruin my chances of reaching Empyrean.
She wanted to make sure that if I fell, I fell straight into her arms.
