Black Rose of Vengeance

Rosalie has completed forty-seven contracts without a miss, leaving a black rose behind for every man who paid to have someone buried.

Cesare Orsini, a wealthy and calculating mafia boss with a private army, is meant to be the forty-eighth, yet he is already waiting when she enters his bedroom armed and ready.

Her gun fails, she is left bleeding among men who want her dead, and the target she came to kill offers her water, an unlocked room, and a place at his table.

Cesare has spent three years tracing an assassin with no photograph and no real name, because the people who trained her hold information only she can lead him to.

She was taught to end men like him, not to want his careful hands or a place in his bed, while he finds himself hoping the killer he brought into his house will stay even after the job is done.

The danger sharpens if she learns how much he arranged before the night they met.
