Devil's Killer

The Devil's Killer

A Devious Series Novel

"You are forbidden, Gianna. And that only makes me want you more."

Ivan Mikhail has never loved anyone. He has used women, discarded them, and walked away without a backward glance. His mother calls him a disappointment. His enemies call him the Devil's Killer, an assassin whose name is whispered in the darkest corners of Florence. He has blood on his hands, earned from the innocent and the guilty alike, and he has never once felt remorse.

Then he sees Gianna Dante.

She is the youngest sister of his sworn enemies, Rocco and Alessandro Dante. She is forbidden, untouchable, and the one woman who could destroy the fragile peace between their families. Ivan does not care.

Gianna should be afraid. Instead, she bites his hand, draws blood, and watches him laugh. She slaps him in hallways. She throws water on him in restaurants. She refuses to bow, refuses to break, refuses to be another conquest.

Ivan has never begged for anything in his life. He begs for her.

The Devil's Killer follows Ivan as he pursues Gianna against all odds, revealing the secrets of his past, the father he killed with his bare hands, the woman his father paid to betray him, and the tattoos that mark him as death incarnate. It follows Gianna as she chooses to love a monster, defies her brothers, and marries him in a secret ceremony.

When a hacker reveals Ivan's identity as the Devil's Killer, Gianna must decide if she can live with the man who has killed more people than she can count. She stays. She always stays.
