His Hidden Blade

Her cold fingers take the key from his palm; their hands stay together a moment.
Odile

You should call her back. She'll want me in a room with no windows.

Ettore

She will. I'm not going to.

She took the key. Her fingers were cold and they stayed on mine a second longer than they had to.

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.
