From Amazon:

Liliana Carter has been unknowingly living a lie for most of her young life. Unaware of her true identity, she has unwittingly become the mark of a lethal mob enforcer. Kristian Sokolov is Chicago’s Russian Bratva underboss and hitman. Upon following through with orders to target the innocent and unwitting Liliana, Kristian finds himself infatuated with everything he’s learned about this enigmatic young woman. As Kristian wars with himself about the feelings he is developing for his virtuous objective, a forbidden romance starts to spawn between the adept assassin and his target. Will he be able to fulfill his duty as the Bratva’s lethal enforcer or go against everything he’s been taught, to rescue this guiltless and perplexing young woman with whom he has become completely enamored?

My Review:

This novel has a fresh approach and spin on traditional Italian versus Russian mob families and members. Mob members do have a crude manner of speech, and those swear words are sprinkled liberally, although they do have asterisks in the words to help the story be less crude. The romance between one person from each side is solid. The story is solid. The best part was Lily remaining true to her faith, and Kristian went back to the faith, and Jesus, as his mother had taught him before she passed away.
