Shut up and look pretty, sweetheart. The instructions were simple. 1. Do as you’re told. 2. Don’t ask questions. 3. Oh, and always smile. Men find it more attractive when you smile. Unfortunately, the job description forgot the part about not punching your partner square in the jaw. Guess they should have been more specific? Not that life lessons really mattered to a dead guy. Or the other halfwits looking to clean up his mess. If only the truth had been as easy to bury… But the past, yeah, it had a way of creeping up on you. Especially when you forgot the most important rule: 4. Don’t mix business and pleasure. Again. *Trigger Warning: Adult subject matter and themes are discussed throughout this duet. Recommended for readers 18 and older. If you have any concerns as a reader, please reach out to the author directly. This book has a contemporary setting; however, there are mafia-adjacent interactions.
