I was raised to kill one man. I never expected to fall in love with my target. For sixteen years, Aurora trained for a single moment: the shot that would avenge her murdered parents. When she finally pulls the trigger on Dante De Luca — the man the underworld calls The Reaper — she misses. And she pays for it with her freedom. Locked inside his estate, she braces for a cage. What she finds instead is a war she never knew she was already part of. Dante's enemies want her dead. His brother, presumed lost for fifteen years, returns behind a mask and a decade and a half of secrets that unravel everything she thought she knew about her own past. And the closer she looks, the more the line blurs between the man she was sent to kill... and the man risking everything to keep her alive. The truth, when it finally surfaces, is bigger than either of them ever imagined: a hidden order that has controlled both their bloodlines for a generation, a stolen identity, a father the world called dead, and a birthright neither of them asked for. She was told she was born pierced to kill. She's about to learn what she was really born to survive.
