Isabella was raised by her mother to seduce dangerous men and marry one. Instead she ran and built a life in a city split between the triads and the mafia with Marco, a quiet man who belongs to neither. Their love runs on a private game: she goes out with other men, he listens through an earpiece, and she decides when the line goes dark. Then two strangers appear at their door asking for her by name. Hunted by an unknown man Isabella turns the game into a weapon, seducing her way through the city’s underworld one mission at a time while Marco listens, trusts, and waits for the debrief. But every silence on the line hides a little more of her past. When what she’s hiding becomes the thing that could kill them, Marco has to decide how far trust can go before the game stops being one.
