Savannah is bored as an assassin working for a company, just killing random politicians, and wants something exciting, and that something is in the form of Don Sandrino. There is drama, tragedy, fighting and romance littering every chapter. The only thing is, Savannah doesn't know how to love, she has suppressed that emotion, along with every single other emotion, and she doesn't know who she really is as she has had to live under alias names for so long, always pretending to be someone else. She just does not know who the real Savannah is. Can Don Sandrino pull it out of her? Can he make her love again? Or will their dysfunctional romance end in death and heartbreak? *** "You know, anyone who calls me Fabricio usually ends up dead, or really hurt, anyone who dares call me Pugliesi gets their tongue chopped off and forced to swallow it, then they die," said a voice from behind me. "Well, Fabricio Sandrino Pugliesi Russo, what are you going to do to me now?" I asked, raising one of my eyebrows. "Is playing chicken one of your favourite games?" he asked, laughing. "Yes, because I always win." He laughed again. What the fuck is going on? I never make people laugh, well I never have anyone around to talk to except Nadia, who never laughs at anything, but still. "I'm waiting for you to chop my tongue out, Fabricio," I was toying with him, seeing whether his threats were real. *** THIS IS AN ACTION ROMANCE, WITH GRUESOME SCENES AND SEXUAL SCENES.
