Hunter De Luca only wants one thing—to play hockey and escape his father’s world of blood and power. But being the son of the mafia Don means freedom isn’t earned—it’s taken. When Hunter’s next “assignment” lands in his lap, he’s told it’s simple: eliminate the daughter of a CIA agent before she gets too close to their family’s secrets. Then he meets her. Bella is everything he never expected—bright, innocent and completely off-limits. The moment their eyes meet, the hit turns into something dangerous: desire. Now Hunter’s torn between two impossible choices—protect the girl he’s falling for, or obey the man who raised him. Love wasn’t part of the plan. But in the world of the De Lucas, every secret has a price… and this time, his heart might be the one that pays.
