Tony Mantini finds little demand for ex-Army snipers when he leaves the military, but the Ricciardo crime family has just the job for his elite skills. Alicia Clayton has built a reputation for her gritty images of New York City’s seamy underbelly. But she’s running for her life after witnessing a horrific crime. Surrounded by enemies, Tony and Alicia must trust each other if they’re to survive. As the death toll rises and old loyalties are washed away in blood, their only hope is the fragile new bond forged in the incendiary heat between them. $0.99 on Kindle.
