Kill the Messenger
Joey Balas can’t read, can’t keep a job, and can’t seem to catch a break—until he’s handed a delivery job by his criminal brother that lands him face-to-face with a Cleveland mobster… and a murder he was never supposed to witness. Marked for death, Joey’s saved by the last person he expected: the hitman ordered to kill him.
D is cold, quiet, and done taking orders. Letting Joey live was a mistake he can’t take back—and maybe doesn’t want to. Now the two of them are on the run, tangled up in a mess of dirty secrets, family betrayals, and the slow-burning bond growing between them.
