He was a name on my father's kill list.
Nothing more. Nothing personal.
Until I saw him.
Until I tasted the way danger lingers on a man's lips.
I was raised in the shadows, a daughter of the mafia king, built from blood and lies. Love was never part of my story. 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.
