BLOOD OATHS AND HEARTBEATS
Aleo Cassano is not just any mafia boss-he's the most powerful, feared, and desired man in the world of crime. With piercing blue eyes, a body inked with tattoos, and a presence that commands both respect and terror, Aleo rules with an iron fist. His reputation as an untouchable kingpin keeps his enemies at bay and his rivals desperate to win him over-yet no one knows the secret he hides deep within his heart. He rejects all advances, secretly yearning for something more dangerous, something more forbidden.
Calyx Elsher, known only as Agent 87, is a ghost in the underworld-a hitman whose face is a mystery and whose skill is unmatched. Cold, calculated, and deadly, Calyx has never let himself get close to anyone. Love is a weakness he refuses to indulge. When he's hired for the most lucrative job of his career-to kill Aleo Cassano-he takes the assignment without a second thought.
But when the mission goes sideways, and Calyx finds himself captured by the very man he was sent to kill, everything changes. Aleo isn't like any target Calyx has faced before. There's an undeniable pull between them-one that neither man expected, and one that could cost them both their lives.
Aleo wants answers, but as he keeps Calyx imprisoned in his lavish estate, he discovers something far more dangerous than betrayal-an attraction that defies reason. Calyx fights it, determined to resist the growing connection between them, but Aleo's dark charm and fierce dominance make it impossible to escape.
As secrets unravel, trust is tested, and the lines between enemy and lover blur, both men must decide: is love worth the risk, or will their dangerous bond lead to their mutual destruction?
