They call him Romeo-though no one would accuse him of being a romantic.
Troy 'Romeo' Rosa has been a mystery for years.
A mercenary used to working away and taking orders from his tutu wearing, ruthlessly savage boss.
Her domineering ways mean his most recent assignment should be a walk in the park. The last thing he expects is a family so corrupt, it may destroy Checkmate from the inside out.
Troy's target is a mafia princess.
She's the heiress to an empire that profits from the horrors forced upon the vulnerable.
After a carefully orchestrated attack on their home, her criminal father insists on hiring someone from outside the organization to protect his most valuable acquisition-her.
They think they're getting a soldier, but the man who arrives for the job comes with his own agenda-bring down this empire and put an end to the damage they do to women all over the world.
If Troy's target should prove to be too difficult: bed her.
If she gets too close to discovering Troy's true identity: put a bullet between her eyes and get out of Dodge.
But what happens when secrets are revealed that have the power to break the Checkmate family?
And worse; what the hell is Troy to do when he falls for the mafioso's daughter?
