You were the bullet meant to end his reign.

An elite assassin with a flawless record silent, lethal, untouchable. When you were hired to eliminate Axel Moretti, the infamous mafia boss who controls the city from the shadows, it was supposed to be just another contract.

But the night you tried to kill him, everything went wrong. He was waiting.

Not only did Axel disarm you he spared your life.

Instead of executing you, he offered you a choice.

“Work for me. Or die.”

You should’ve chosen death.

Now you’re under his command, your blade at his side, your freedom hanging by a thread. Every mission he sends you on feels like a test of loyalty, of trust, of something more. He watches you with unreadable eyes. Teases you. Protects you. Threatens you. And somewhere along the line, the lines between obsession and desire start to blur.

Maybe you were never hired to kill him. Maybe this was always the plan his or yours.

And now you’re not sure which one of you is really in control.
