Loving Cole by Roxanne Greening

The world was full of broken toys and shattered souls. Was he my light? The beacon at the end of my dark tunnel?

Lilyanna
I was raised by the Carter’s. One in particular took me under his wing and raised me as his own. Lark Carter, Mafia contract killer, aka my Uncle. He was my hero and the one person I wanted to be like when I got older. I decided to follow in his footsteps and take on the jobs only men had deemed fit to handle. Before me. I became the Carter hit man, seamlessly placing my puzzle pieces in the world. I loved the life I had created for myself and was content being alone until he opened the door and walked into my life changing everything.

Cole
I was a Valisk. A member of the Valisk Crime family. I was sent to watch after Willow Carter, I was sent to do a job. Babysit Lark Carter’s daughter. Everything was right on target until I opened the door and came face-to-face with perfection. She was the forbidden fruit the look, but can never touch temptation. She was Lark Carter’s niece and she was deadly perfection on two legs.
