"𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲?" He questioned, pointing his gun down at me.

"𝐎𝐛𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐝." I chuckle, smirking and looking up at him.

That seemed to anger him as he grabbed me by the collar and pulled me closer, his green eyes burning through mine.

"𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮?" He seethed.

"𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐨."

"𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮?" He glared as I grinned euphorically, tilting my head without knowing the trouble that my next words would cause.

"𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧?-"

Asher Villasano. An ex-convict and sharp-mouthed 27-year-old bartender who is desperate to make a living and protect her sister, even if it means putting her life on the line.

Owing money to loan sharks, she takes it upon herself to take on many jobs, even if it meant gambling her life in the underworld. But despite how hard you try to run and hide, your past will always be there to bite you in the ass.

Killian Lombardi. A sarcastic and reserved 27-year-old mafia don who is on the run from assassins after his club was under attack. Having no weapons or guards left, he goes into hiding, bringing an unlucky bartender with him.

Asher, pissed off when she just so happened to be at the wrong place, wrong time, ends up not only saving Killian, but engraving her own bullet into him.

His mother, amused by Asher's charisma when she lifted her gun and killed men like it was nothing, forces an already fuming Killian to make her his bodyguard.

Will Killian, a strict leader, and Asher, a stubborn ex-convict, bear to get along without killing each other as Mafia Boss and bodyguard?
