The Devil's Favorite
"Do you always get this angry when others play with your dolls?"
"No, just when it comes to you. You're my favorite doll."

Cara Morelli gets the heartbreak of her life when she finds out that her boyfriend is a recruiter for an illegal sex club, but that is after he abducts and dumps her there. As fiery as she is stubborn, she won't go down easily.
After maiming, and nearly killing a client- on purpose- she is punished; murdered. But by some stroke of providence, she reincarnates inside the body of a woman known as Agent Thirteen, who belonged to an elite team of female assassins. And the Boss? A ruthless mafia Don widely known as Leone "the devil" Andreotti.
It takes Cara a while to get used to the fact that prior to the time when she swapped bodies with Agent Thirteen, the assassin had signed her freedom off to Leone as part of the contract to be his assassin... to be used to kill targets until she scored him a hundred kills.
But now, Leone wants more than a hundred kills from Cara... Ever since she blatantly disrespected him.
And now that she is a trained assassin, is this the answer to her long-standing quest for revenge against her betraying boyfriend and the club, or will it embroil her deeper in a deadly obsession with the most dangerous man in the city?
You're right. It's both.

"If you run, he will chase you."
"If I don't, he will kill me."
"Will he?" The look she gives me is knowing.
I roll my eyes. "Of course he will."
Right?
