She broke his heart. Now it's time he destroys her.

Tierney

There's a bullet with my name on it. And Achilles Ferrante is the man who'll pull the trigger. I'd always known one of us would kill the other. I'd just hoped to do the honor.

Twice I betrayed him. First, I broke his heart. Then, I sold him out to the Feds. Even if I hadn't, I doubt he could spell mercy, much less spare me any.

The Camorra prince promised he'd make a spectacle of my death when he caught me. Let him try. He could chase me until the end of Earth.

I will always run faster.

Achilles

To love is to destroy, and I'd loved Tierney Callaghan far too long, and far too much. She's a fatal weakness, but unlike the Greek mythology warrior - I will remain undefeated.

My little flame can run fast, but my bullet is faster.

Once upon a time, she was the only person who saw my humanity. She's about to meet the monster everyone else knows.

From New York Times bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a dark romance about an assassin Mafia heir and the villainess who refuses to become his next victim. Perfect for fans of Ana Huang, Rina Kent and Navessa Allen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved this. Who knew a psychotic, baby-girl mafia stalker would be so amazing 🤣

Achilles had me laughing one minute and low-key emotional the next such a complex character and ridiculously entertaining. For characters that are this dark and toxic, their story was surprisingly romantic and sweet… with a massive side of completely unhinged energy.

It wasn’t predictable at all either I genuinely had no idea how we were going to get to a satisfying ending, but it kept me hooked the whole way through.

Now I’m dying to know whose story is next 👀 I need to know more about Luca or Alex ASAP.

Also… as long as we keep getting Tiernan as Corvin doing that Irish accent, I’m sold every single time 👌

“The heads of all your abusers” as a gift?? I mean… how romantic ❤️‍🔥
