When a hitman falls for the daughter of his latest target, their slow-burn romance ignites into a deadly game of lies, obsession, and betrayal. How do you love someone once you know they've been lying since the very first touch?
Season 1 of Dark & Deadly Affairs
***
Rosalina Fairchild was never close with her father, but when he is murdered, her entire life begins to unravel. Something about her father's past doesn't sit right. And when old flash drives surface, packed with dark footage no daughter should ever see, Rosalina begins uncovering the kind of secrets people kill to protect.
Houston, the hot new neighbor down the street, is maybe a little too good at showing up right when she needs him. What she doesn't know is that Houston isn't who he says he is. He's a hitman named Hunter who was sent to dismantle the same secret society her father was part of. He killed the man she's grieving, and now he's falling for her.
The man she trusted has lied to her about everything. But will she survive long enough to hate him for it?

"You have no idea how fucking long I've wanted this. Every second I've had to hold back. Every time you smiled at me. I've wanted to pin you against the wall and make you mine."
