Shot to the Hart - A Novella

{COMPLETED} Professional assassin Nadia Hart is seconds away from retiring in luxury, then risks it all when a target becomes personal.

Lone wolf Nadia Hart is the best killer for hire in the business. A mistress of disguise, her superb skills are legendary; her motto: "never hesitate, never miss." Hired to kill Salvatore DeMarco, son of one of the most vicious mob bosses in Boston's history, she's confident the job will be done smoothly and then she's out. Free to enjoy her off-shore fortune on a tiny island in the Pacific where she can forget about her many sins. And maybe find some redemption.

But the unthinkable happens. When she looks through the crosshairs of her sniper rifle, she finds she cannot pull the trigger on the target. Nadia knows him. And it's even worse than that. Salvatore is 'Sal' - once her protector and only childhood friend.

Nadia can't bring herself to eliminate the only friend she ever had. She needs to know what brought her to him in the first place. She needs to find out more.

With time running out, she has only one option - save Sal and get them both somewhere safe. Because the rules in her game are simple and she knows them well. It's kill or be killed, and the clock is ticking for them both.
