His Fatal Love

by Leighton Greene

Easily bored, completely manipulative, and utterly deadly…and that’s just in bed.

As an assassin for the Castellani Family, I live for the thrill of the job.
I'm devoted to my Family and my Don, because they keep me safe.

To Leo Bernardi, I'm a monster.
A killing machine.
And a puppet that his Family can use for their own ends.

To me, Leo is just a pawn in a game that I'm playing.
A means to an end.
And if I have a little fun with him along the way, who cares?

Leo thinks he can seduce me. Tame me. Use me.
In this game of cat and mouse, the Bernardi Lion is about to get a big surprise.

But the more entangled we become, the more I start to feel…

Things I didn’t think I was capable of feeling.

Things I’ve never wanted to feel.

In my line of work, love is a fatal flaw. But the more time we spend together, the harder I fall.

Leo Bernardi is my greatest enemy…
Could he also be my greatest love?

About the Author

After spending some time writing in academia, fanfiction and corporate reporting, Leighton decided she should probably do what she actually wanted to do, which was to write commercial fiction. So she did. She writes gay romance and, when the mood strikes, erotica as LJ Greene.

Leighton lives with her partner and her cockatiel on the east coast of Australia.
