OverviewI was raised to be the perfect bride. I was trained to be the perfect killer. My target? My new husband. Nigel Ortega is the King of Chicago. Ruthless. Calculated. A monster in a three-piece suit who rules the city's logistics with an iron fist. To end a decades-long war, he demanded a tribute: a bride from the rival Di Traglia family. He thinks he's buying peace. He thinks he's buying a trophy. He doesn't know he's bringing a loaded weapon into his bed. I am Chiara Di Traglia. My uncle sold me to the enemy to secure his empire. But he gave me a secret mission: wait for the wedding night, wait for his guard to drop, and end the Ortega bloodline forever. It was supposed to be a simple transaction. A dirty contract signed in blood. But Nigel isn't the careless tyrant I was promised. He's watchful. He's brilliant. And he's dangerously possessive. When he looks at me with those mismatched eyes, he doesn't see a pawn. He sees the rage I've hidden my whole life. He challenges me. He protects me. He makes me want the one thing a sleeper agent can never have: a future. Now, a new enemy has emerged from the shadows-one who threatens the only person I have left to love. To save her, I have to make a choice. Execute the mission and destroy the only man who has ever understood me? Or break the contract, betray my blood, and burn the city to the ground with him? They told me to kill the monster. They didn't tell me I'd fall in love with him. Dirty Contracts is a high-heat, high-stakes dark mafia romance. It features a possessive anti-hero, a heroine who can handle a knife, and a love story forged in violence. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
