THE DEVIL'S CONTRACT
READING AGE 18+
Elena Vasquez has one mission: bring down the man who ordered her father's death.
She spends six months building a cover identity, sharpening her grief into something useful, and walking into Dante Marrano's world with a single purpose. She has a plan. She has evidence. She has nothing left to lose.
