Obsessed

I preferred to keep to the shadows, to remain as anonymous as possible in a world where it was more advantageous if my hit didn’t see me coming.

Then I met her.

I found myself inexplicably drawn to Stella. Obsessed, even. I didn’t do relationships—because who would want to hitch themselves to a man who destroyed lives for a living?

But I couldn’t stay away from her, either.

Even if my family would let me marry her instead of the mafia princess they’d picked out for me, there was one little problem . . .

If Stella knew who I really was, she’d hate me.

Considering I was the one who’d executed her brother.
