She asked to die. He was hired to make it happen. But nothing about her was what he expected.
He doesn't have a name-just a code, a mission, and a reputation for delivering justice where the law won't. He doesn't take jobs on women. Not unless the blood on their hands makes the streets cry out for vengeance. But when an encrypted tip leads him to a diner at 2:11 a.m., everything changes.

Sin Of Mafia
She was ordered to end his life, but his touch made her want to give him every piece of hers. He was a name on my father's kill list. Nothing more. Nothing personal. Until I saw him.

But protecting him became my secret sin. I hid in the dark to save him, even when my hands were stained with everything he should fear. And when he finally touched me, it was like setting fire to every rule I'd ever known. We loved in whispers. We kissed like war. Every moment with him felt stolen, because it was. In our world, nothing beautiful survives. And when the truth comes for us, one of us will have to choose. Pull the trigger... or take the bullet. This isn't a love story. It's a funeral with a heartbeat.
