Savage Justice by Ashe Barker

Nico is no typical hero. He’s a skilled marksman, an assassin with a past shrouded in the murky world of organised crime. But when he witnesses a child being abducted, his sense of duty overrides his reluctance to get involved. The stakes escalate when the same child appears on his doorstep in the dead of night, desperately seeking his help.
Molly, a successful professional artist and a fiercely protective mother, doesn’t condone Nico’s way of life, but she is profoundly grateful for his unexpected intervention when her children’s lives are at risk. She has made a vicious enemy, shattering the tranquillity of her carefully ordered world. She’s out of her depth, in need of protection and despite all his faults, Nico offers that.
With danger lurking in every corner, she must lean on Nico and his deadly skills for the safety of her family. As tensions rise and threats escalate, Molly grapples with trust and her own code of ethics—can she rely on these violent men to shield her loved ones? Should she?
Amid the chaos, an unexpected connection blossoms, adding a new layer of complexity to an already tense situation. Can Nico and Molly navigate this tumultuous path and emerge with their lives and their hearts intact?
