Enemies in Disguise
By day, I'm just another quiet IT analyst. By night, I'm the deadliest assassin in the underground. No one at the office suspects a thing, except Isabella Moretti. She's the flawless manager, always with sharp heels and effortless confidence, who everyone dreams of working with. And the last person they'd ever suspect of being a mafia princess… who also happens to be my sworn enemy.
Every night, the game begins. The rules are simple: kill each other before we get killed. No feelings. No mercy. No mistakes.
For a month, we've been locked in a deadly game, with each of us attempting to outsmart the other. Still, neither of us has managed to emerge victorious.
But one night, everything changes.
On my doorstep lies a baby, wrapped in a blanket. Alone. No note. No explanation. And before we can come up with a reason, a group of armed men appears, targeting neither one of us, but the baby. Men neither of us recognize. Men who don't belong to my world or hers.
So, we call a temporary truce. Because even monsters like us aren't heartless enough to let an innocent die.
Since then, mornings have been spent as coworkers, pretending we don't want to tear each other apart. Nights are spent trading threats between bottle feedings and fighting off enemies who won't quit.
Every other mission I’ve ever taken was easy. One clean kill and done. But nothing has ever prepared me for the most dangerous and unexpected thing I've ever faced…
Falling for the woman I swore to destroy.
