Seven years ago, my mother and sister were murdered, and the girl I used to be died right beside them.
The world came to know me as Cherry, a cold-hearted assassin with one goal: hunt down every last person responsible for my family's annihilation.
I don't do distractions. I don't make mistakes. And I definitely don't get involved with men like HIM.
New York's most ruthless kingpin, Ryder Black, rules the city through fear, power, and absolute obedience. He's built an empire no one dares challenge. But when I execute a hit right under his nose and disappear before his men can even draw their weapons, I do the one thing no one else ever has:
I capture his attention.
The plan should have been simple.
Use him. Leave him. Finish my revenge.
Instead, every lie draws us closer. Every move becomes a game neither of us is willing to lose. Somewhere between the bloodshed, betrayal, and secrets, hatred twists into something far more dangerous.
Obsession.
The kind that consumes us both. The kind that turns two predators into each other's greatest weakness. And when revenge has always come first, loving each other may be the one thing neither of us survives.
