THE HITMAN'S LAST PROMISE

He was hired to kill her. Instead, he became the only man standing between her and the people who wanted her dead.
Dante Morelli has spent eleven years working as a professional hitman, carrying out orders without hesitation and leaving no room for personal attachments. In his world, loyalty is measured in obedience, and emotions are weaknesses that can get a man killed. But when he is assigned to eliminate Serena Vitale, a financial investigator who has uncovered dangerous secrets involving powerful mafia families, Dante makes a decision that puts his own life at risk: he refuses to kill her.
Serena knows better than to trust a man with Dante’s reputation. Yet as threats close in and the truth behind the mysterious financial records begins to emerge, she has little choice but to rely on the very man who was supposed to end her life. Their uneasy alliance forces them into close quarters, where suspicion gives way to unexpected understanding and an attraction neither is prepared to face.
But protecting Serena means confronting the past Dante has spent years trying to bury. The disappearance of his younger sister, the questionable death of his mother, and the secrets surrounding his former employers reveal a web of deception that reaches into the powerful families connected by the Bloodline Alliance. As hidden identities and buried agreements come to light, Dante and Serena discover that their enemies have been controlling far more than they ever imagined.
Dante wants to believe he can become something other than the man he has always been, but his past is not willing to let him walk away. Serena must decide whether the man risking everything to keep her alive is someone she can trust with her heart.
He once accepted a contract to take her life. Now, keeping his promise to protect her may cost him everything. But can a man who has spent his life dealing in death find a future worth living for?
