Imagine a young woman chained in a basement for five years, trained to kill with the precision of a surgeon and the ruthlessness of a predator. This is Seraphine Capello-a lethal contradiction with an angel's face and a killer's instincts. When professional hitman Leroi discovers her during his mission to eliminate the Capello family, he makes the fateful decision to rescue her. Little does he know that saving this damaged angel will change both their lives irrevocably. Their first interaction sets the tone for their relationship: dangerous, electric, and impossible to walk away from. When Seraphine brutally kills six men who violated her, Leroi doesn't turn her in-instead, he forces her to bury a body, teaching her that "actions have consequences." This pattern of violence, consequence, and connection becomes the rhythm of their relationship, each drawn to the darkness in the other even as they struggle to contain it.
