His Hidden Blade

The cleaner looks down through the water at Ettore, who stares up with his head back.

I looked down through the water. Ettore stood under the tank with his head tipped back.

He was not running. He was not shouting. He was staring up at the dark catwalk like he could feel me on it.

Synopsis

Odile Ferrante kills from the dark. She has one rule: never let Ettore Malandri see her. He runs a crime family, and she has watched him for years. She clears his enemies before they get close. He never knows she is there. Then Ettore finds a body at his aquarium meeting and a cleaner's badge in the blood. He does not run. He starts looking for the woman who saves him. When he catches her, he gives her a key instead of a bullet. Now Odile is in his world. His men fear her. His enemies want her. Ettore claims her in front of everyone and tends her wounds himself. Odile has always been a weapon. With him, she almost believes she can be a woman who stays. Danger never leaves her. If anyone touches Ettore, Odile will kill them. She just has to survive long enough to let him hold her.
