Blood Oath, (Paperback)

<p><strong>When loyalty becomes betrayal and love becomes survival, how much would you sacrifice for the man you were sent to kill?</strong></p><p><br> </p><p>Dante Salvatore has been the Battaglia crime family's most lethal weapon for fifteen years-a soldier whose loyalty never wavered, whose trigger finger never hesitated. Until the Don gives him an impossible assignment: infiltrate witness protection as a federal marshal and eliminate Adrian Cross, the forensic accountant whose testimony could dismantle their entire empire.</p><p><br> </p><p>Adrian knows the system protecting him is compromised. He's watched marshals rotate through, felt eyes tracking his movements, sensed the inevitable closing in. When Daniel Cross arrives-calm, competent, dangerously attractive-Adrian recognizes something the others lack: genuine determination to keep him alive. What he doesn't recognize is the killer hiding behind those dark eyes.</p><p><br> </p><p>But proximity breeds connection. Coffee becomes conversation. Protection becomes obsession. And somewhere between safehouse dinners and late-night confessions, Dante commits the unforgivable sin: he falls for his target.</p><p><br> </p><p>Now the Don's patience has expired. A cleaner is coming. And Dante faces an impossible choice-pull the trigger and preserve fifteen years of brotherhood, or betray <em>la famiglia</em> for a man who's shown him what it means to be human instead of just a weapon.</p><p><br> </p><p>In a world where loyalty is sacred and betrayal means death, choosing love could destroy them both.</p><p><br> </p><p><strong>Can a killer find redemption in the arms of the man he was ordered to murder, or will the ghosts of his past claim them before they can build a future?</strong></p>
