Book synopsis:
Never
fall for a mark. Mission fail.
Christopher Perri—a.k.a. Dante
Perry—infiltrated the Madigan organization with one goal: vengeance for his
murdered partner. Falling for the assassin at the head of the table wasn’t part
of the plan, but Hawes Madigan is not the cold, untouchable Prince of Killers
Chris expected. Everything about the newly crowned king is hot, and every inch
of him eminently touchable… and off-limits once Chris’s cover is blown.
Exposure couldn’t come at a worse
time. Hawes’s throne is threatened, and Chris suspects the same person who
killed his partner is behind the coup. Working with Hawes benefits them both,
but Chris’s employer has other ideas. Dismantling criminal organizations is
what Chris does best, and his boss expects the King Slayer to deliver.
But Hawes is taking the Madigans in
a new direction, one Chris can get behind, and the two men form a shaky
alliance strengthened by the irresistible attraction between them... until
Chris learns who killed his partner. Once he knows the truth, the King Slayer
is unleashed, and Chris will stop at nothing to destroy those who betrayed him,
including the king who stole his heart.
Twists and turns—and
cliffhangers—continue in book two of the Fog City Trilogy. Read at your own
risk!
Excerpt:
“According to Tran,” Chris said, “the explosives are our primary objective.”
“Which are where?”
Chris poured a mug of coffee and sipped in silence, not admitting to the unknown that was more dangerous than any of the Madigans.
“Exactly,” Wheeler said, correctly reading his nonanswer. “You don’t know where they are. Explosives made by professional assassins, which could land in the hands of even worse killers. I want to eliminate the organization that made them thereby stopping them from making more and eliminating those who could put the explosives to use.”
That was one way to look at the situation. A bit Rambo-esque in its idealism, because fuck knew they couldn’t eliminate all the targets.
“And you’re going to help me,” Wheeler added.
“What do you think I’ve been doing here? The past week with the Madigans, the past month of getting everything into place, the past three years following Izzy’s leads? I’m trying to find a way in so we can identify the real killers and find the explosives.”
“Well, you failed, King Slayer.”
Chris gritted his teeth.
“Isn’t that what they call you?”
There was a reason he understood Hawes’s loathing of his Prince of Killers moniker. A reason Chris knew exactly when to needle him with it and when to let it go. Because after taking down more than a few heads of criminal empires, Chris had earned his own moniker. One he liked about as much as Hawes liked his. Unfortunately, every time he slayed a king, collateral damage was unavoidable. Innocents wrapped up in the organization. Partners, kids, organization members who were just trying to do right by their families. Another reason why Hawes’s new order had resonated with Chris, why he wanted to help him, not slay him. But Chris couldn’t tell Wheeler any of that. “Yes, that’s what they call me,” he said instead.
Wheeler grinned, victorious. “Then let’s slay the fucking king already.”
