Eva and Jonathan, both lethal in their own right, meet serendipitously on a sleeper train from Florence to Paris. Their brief encounter ignites an unprecedented spark, a connection neither has ever experienced. Yet, in their line of work, love is a dangerous distraction.

Six months later, fate—or something more sinister—brings them together again in the opulent Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. But this meeting is far from coincidental. Eva has been assigned to eliminate Jonathan, unaware that he is also a professional assassin. As their worlds collide, they discover that their mutual attraction is matched only by their lethal skills.

What begins as a mission to kill each other quickly spirals into a high-stakes chase across Europe’s most iconic cities. From the romantic streets of Paris to the historic alleys of Rome, the pair navigates a landscape of intrigue, deception, and danger. Their journey is punctuated by breathtaking tourist spots and the mounting body count of those who cross their paths.

As Eva and Jonathan grapple with their growing attraction, they must also confront the truth: they are not just hunters but the hunted. An unknown, even more formidable adversary is on their trail, threatening to extinguish their fiery romance before it fully ignites.

In this gripping narrative, lust and murder entwine, propelling Eva and Jonathan toward an explosive climax where love could be the deadliest game of all. ❤️📚❤️
