Alessandra Morello’s life has been as privileged as one might expect for the child of a millionaire mogul. But the older she gets, the more she’s managed to piece together that the life she’s known is one that’s been secured mostly by her father’s misdeeds. In the public eye, Felix Morello is the CEO of Calvario Arms & Technology, a weapons manufacturing company.

It turns out that guns aren’t the only thing Morello’s company churns out, as much as specially trained men who know how to use them and will gladly do so for the right price. Dante Incarnato is less a hitman for hire and more accurately the man you don’t want to see on your doorstep when you can’t pay the price.

And it\'s all packaged with the unmistakable feeling that Isadora has a considerable future within the pack that she never planned to be a part of…
