Aimed at my heart

Mara Archer lives by rituals: sweep the room, kiss no one, keep the Beretta taped to the headboard. A chance collision at a gallery introduces Adrian Ricci-tailored charm with secrets under glass. When Mara's unit brands her a traitor and her parents are executed, Adrian "rescues" her... and she finds he's also the leak. Bound by rage and a rules-only truce, they hunt the real architect inside Mare Nero, carving a path through poker rooms, safehouses, and rat lines. Every kiss is evidence; every touch, leverage. To bury the syndicate's golden boy, Mara must choose: walk away clean-or love the enemy and burn the map.
