    About this ebook

    I might be a killer, but I'll risk my life to save her

    Sonya's supposed to be celebrating. A Halloween party to bring together all her friends and the biggest names in New York City before she departs overseas to tour with a prestigious ballet company.

    But the problem is that her guest list also contains some of the most dangerous men in the city. And at a costume party, no one is really who they say they are. That's why I'm here. To protect her. It's not just business, or Andrei Petrov's orders. Sonya is gorgeous, talented, and with the kindest eyes I've ever seen. I don't deserve a girl like that. Never have and never will.

    Someone wants her dead. I just want her.

    Tonight, only one of us will get our wish.

    This is a short Halloween story set in Alexis Abbott's Hitmen world.

      Sonya

      All the masks surrounding me are absolutely amazing! We’ve never had such lavish costumes where I grew up in Russia, and now I can’t help but surround myself with the amazing creativity and artistry of a masquerade party.

      It seemed only fitting to have a Halloween party, since tonight is my last night on American soil for a full year. Most of the people from the ballet studio were able to make it, and even some very important people from the arts community.

      Andrei even let me use the manor he operates out of, and it has added such a taste of style and pizzazz that I know I’ll remember forever. I look at Cassie and her beautiful white lacy outfit, adorned with a light pink mask, and I can’t help but feel a bit homesick with the idea of leaving her. I’ve been teaching her ballet ever since Andrei married her, and I’m going to miss her most of all.

      Don’t cry! she says urgently, and I have to laugh it off that she can see through my strong facade so well. There’s no hiding my feelings from that perceptive young woman.

      I’m not, I protest, wiping underneath my eyes. I don’t want my eyeliner to smudge!
