Deceit requires punishment.

But what happens when the mark is innocent?

Killian “Dagger” Bedivere

My latest assignment has evolved into a game of deciphering whom to trust—the renowned politician who hired the Cavalieri Della Morte, or the runaway bride?

She’s gorgeous, conniving, and everything I crave in a woman.

She’s also my target.

Rule number one: Never fall for the mark.

Rule number two: Fuck rule number one.

Amara “Scarlet” Rose

I never wanted this world, but the decision wasn’t mine to make. I always belonged to him. Now there’s a new player on the board—one hell-bent on destroying all my plans.

He’s lethal, handsome, and everything I should fear.

Rule number one: Don’t trust anyone.

Rule number two: Do everything you can to survive, even if it means breaking rule number one.

And rule number three: When in doubt, kill.

*This novel is a stand-alone romantic suspense featuring an assassin from the Cavalieri Della Morte world.

I truly do not know how Foss does it.
I am a big fan of her paranormal and contemporary works, so when I found out she was going to be one of the authors participating in the Cavalieri Della Morte collection - I was ecstatic!
Her first attempt at romantic suspense in "reality" (her words, lol) was faultless.
A Five Star Read
~ The transition from mark to partner
~ The depth of the emotions between the characters, not just romantically but the overall feeling that the characters invoked from me as a reader
~ then the twists OMG. Just wait for it.
~ And the suspense. I was on the edge right from the start
I want more.
Truly, I would like more from this cast and this world.

Let's talk about the main characters.

Killian **sigh** He is one of the few Cavalieri that lives in the spotlight. He is not an unknown and he uses that to his advantage. A playboy who lives off his inheritance. No rules. There is no right or wrong in his playground. He is known for his edgy love life. One night. No emotions. No promises. Behind his love 'em and leave 'em facade is a decidedly ruthless assassin. He has never hesitated when the time came to dispense justice. He knew his marks were guilty and he was more than happy to play judge, jury, and executioner.
Until Amara.
Now he questions everything.
His rules.
Their words.
His heart.

Amara - Her life was a lie. She fought hard to reinvent her world. To escape the pain and degradation that was her life.
She forged a plan. She found freedom. He found her.

She was one wicked kick @ss heroine. She wasn't about to let go of the freedom she had tasted. I honestly do not know how she kept her chit together sometimes. I enjoyed that her personality was so relatable. She got scared, she got cocky, she fought and she hoped.

Can she prove her innocence?
Will he even believe her?

This is my favorite of the Cavalieri releases to date.
The tension and romance from this couple create an off the charts chemical reaction.
The twists - HOLY CHIT BATMAN!~
Do not pass this one up.
