Synopsis: Lia Moretti is the deadliest assassin in the Fang Mafia-swift, merciless, and untouchable. But when betrayal shatters her world, leaving her entire crew slaughtered, she finds herself alone, wounded, and hunted by the rival Hades Syndicate. With nowhere left to turn, she stumbles into the home of Kevin Langston, an unassuming high school teacher with a kind heart and a mundane life. Kevin is exhausted by his routine-grading papers, dealing with disrespectful students, his nagging boss and wondering if life has more to offer. But everything changes when he comes home to find a bleeding, dangerously beautiful woman in his living room. She's secretive, on edge, and clearly running from something. Against his better judgment, he helps her. Unbeknownst to him, Kevin has just given refuge to the city's most wanted assassin. And the moment he lets her stay, he's dragged into a war he never saw coming. Lia must protect her identity at all costs while keeping Kevin safe from the ruthless killers hunting her. But as their worlds collide, something unexpected sparks between them-an undeniable connection that neither of them can afford. Can a man who's never held a gun survive in the world of assassins? Can a woman who's only known bloodshed find a reason to live beyond the next kill? Or will their fragile sanctuary be shattered when the past finally catches up to them?
