Lover Girl

In a novel filled with comedy, romance and edge-of-your-seat suspense, a legendary, retired hitman and a younger, ambivalent assassin join forces to rescue a kidnapped child, while they, themselves, are being hunted by a third, sadistic predator––with orders to kill them both. Sammy, ‘Lover Boy’ Vivino, the retired legendary hitman, answers his doorbell to find a beautiful young woman at the threshold. Her silenced pistol aimed at his heart, however, quickly dashes any hopes for romance. For this woman is Angelica Fortuna, a conflicted, wisecracking assassin, nicknamed l’angelo della morte – The Angel of Death. Her father, Philadelphia’s Don Vito Fortuna, has sent her to New York with one simple order: kill Lover Boy! Angelica, though, has her own agenda and soon joins Vivino in a daunting, desperate race to rescue a kidnapped child, while simultaneously falling in love with another man she barely knows. Unfortunately, because of Angelica’s [...]paternal defiance, she and Sammy will soon face an additional, deadly obstacle – another Fortuna assassin. And this sadistic killer has equally straightforward orders: kill Lover Boy, l’angelo della morte, and whoever stands in the way.
