His Hidden Blade

The tall man holds the small badge up and rubs his thumb over the photo.

He picked the badge up again and ran his thumb over the photo.

Like he was wiping rain off glass that wasn't there.

My chest went tight. Stupid. A piece of plastic and I couldn't breathe right.

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.
