Sofia Smith was unlike any other woman. She had a killer's instinct, an assassin's talent, and a beauty that could topple kingdoms. She worked for the infamous Marco Romano, a man whose reputation was as dangerous as his power was vast. And when he looked upon Sofia, he knew he had found his greatest weapon. Sofia's weapon was her good looks, and she wielded them with deadly precision. Her targets would be lured in by her sultry voice, her smoldering gaze, and her inviting smile. And before they knew what was happening, they would feel the cold steel of her knife at their throat. No one could resist her charm, and no one could survive her embrace. But all of that was about to change. For when Marco Romano gave her the order to kill Lorenzo Russo, he had no idea what he was setting in motion.
Lorenzo Russo was no ordinary target. He was a powerful figure in the Italian Sicilian Mafia, a man whose father, Leonardo Russo, had been shot down by their bitter enemy, Enzo. Sofia knew none of this when she received her assignment. To her, Lorenzo Russo was just another lucky victim who had the misfortune of crossing Marco Romano. But as she started to do her research, she began to uncover something far more sinister. She learned of the Russo family's ties to the mafia, their history of violence and revenge, and their connections to some of the most dangerous criminals in the world. Suddenly, Sofia found herself in a situation far beyond her control. Her charm and her beauty would be useless against a man like Lorenzo Russo. She would need all of her skills and wits to plan and execute the perfect kill. But even then, she knew that it might not be enough. For the first time in her life, Sofia Smith felt fear creeping into her heart.
