About this ebook
Angela Lockhart doesn't leave witnesses. She doesn't leave evidence. And she sure as hell doesn't leave the job unfinished. A year ago, she found her husband dead and never learned who pulled the trigger. Now, Dante has offered her a trade: hunt for Infernum, and he'll hand her the name of her husband's killer. So when Dante sends her to eliminate a trafficker hiding behind the walls of a seedy peep show, she walks in expecting a clean hit and walks out having gunned down four men, torched a crime scene, and ridden off into the night with nothing to show for it but a stolen ring and a body count.
For Dante, it's just another Tuesday. Send Angela in, get the job done, send a message. Snitches never prosper—and Dante makes damn sure everyone remembers that.
But someone else is watching. Agent Christian Pierce has spent his career chasing Infernum through dead ends, cold trails, and crime scenes scrubbed clean before he ever gets there. Infernum doesn't make mistakes—not when it comes to assassinations, and not when it comes to covering its tracks. Pierce knows better than to waste resources chasing ghosts. But this time, the ghosts might be chasing back.
As Angela climbs deeper into Infernum's inner circle and closer to the truth behind her husband's death, the answers she finds may cost her more than the case ever could. Every hit brings her closer to Dante's secrets—and closer to a man who might be the one target she can't put a bullet in.
In a world where power is bought in blood and loyalty is worn in gold rings, trust is the most dangerous weapon of all. Angela's about to find out that some jobs don't end when the smoke clears—they're just getting started.
Love & Bullets kicks off the INFERNUM series with high-octane action, hardboiled crime, and a body count that doesn't quit. Fans of hitwoman thrillers, pulp noir, and stories where nobody plays by the rules will find their next obsession here.
