I was given forty-eight hours to put a bullet in the kingpin of Chicago. I never planned on getting snowed in with him.

They call me "Ghost." As an elite agency assassin, I don’t have a name, I don’t have a past, and I never fail a mission. My newest target is Renzo Moretti—the ruthless, untouchable boss of the city's underworld. Known as "The Wolf," he’s a towering, brutally scarred force of nature who rules his syndicate with an iron fist.

Infiltrating his heavily fortified estate was supposed to be the easy part. A swift strike, and I’d be gone before the body hit the floor.

But Chicago just got hit with the blizzard of the century.

Now, all access roads are sealed. The gates are frozen shut. I am trapped inside the Wolf's den, and the most dangerous man in the city knows exactly what I am.

Instead of killing me, Renzo makes a different play. As rival factions use the storm to launch a deadly siege on the estate, the lines between predator and prey shatter. To survive the night, the hitwoman and the mafia boss must fight back-to-back.

Renzo is brutal, territorial, and entirely morally bankrupt. He is everything I was trained to destroy. Yet, the way his storm-gray eyes track my every move awakens a primal, undeniable heat. When he takes a bullet meant for me and slaughters his own men for daring to disrespect me, I realize something far more dangerous than the storm is brewing between us.

I came to this estate to take his life. But The Wolf has decided to claim mine.

Winter of the Kingpin is a full-length, standalone dark mafia romantic suspense novel. It features explicit sexual content, graphic violence, and morally grey protagonists who unapologetically embrace their dark sides. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a brutally hard-earned Happily Ever After.
