Defiant Devotion by Leona White

I’m paid to kill, not to care.

One night with a mysterious woman in a small town haunted my dreams.

Then I found her again – the lost Baranov princess.

Carrying my child, running from demons I was hired to protect.

She’s thirteen years younger, innocent despite her darkness.

The virgin sacrifice in a mafia war I never wanted to join.

But now her enemies are mine to destroy.

They think they can use her as a pawn? I’ll burn their empire to ashes.

The hitman without a home has found something worth dying for.

Her defiance awakens my devotion.

And I’ll paint this city red to keep what’s mine.
