Trust in luck. Bet on death. Lose my heart to her? Always.
Ringo
Trust in luck. Bet on death. Lose my heart to a liar? Always.
Ringo Devlin is a man of many secrets and even more regrets. He played the role of the charming stranger to track his quarry, but he never expected to fall for the woman he used. Now that Ellie knows that he’s a hitman for the Manca family, she’s the one person resistant to his charms. But Ringo isn't just in Chicago to win her back; he’s there to claim a legacy that could change his life and finish a job that started in Las Vegas.
Ellie
Tell the lie. Break the rules. Fall for a hitman? Inevitable.
Ellie Jacobs returned to Chicago with a broken heart and a bar to run. She thought leaving Ringo behind would end the nightmare of her failed wedding. But the ghosts of Italy followed her home. Between the FBI agent stalking her every move at The Blarney Zone and the realization that her murderous ex-fiancé is still a threat, Ellie is drowning in the very chaos she tried to outrun.
When Ringo sits down at her bar, he’s a far cry from the happy-go-lucky traveler who lies better than she does. He’s a suave protector she doesn’t want to need and a wildcard in a game where the FBI and the Mob are both playing for keeps. Ellie knows Ringo is a bad bet. But her life is on the line, and he might be the only luck she has left.
Fortune favors the bold. Death favors the lucky.
