"Henry Alcott. 24 years old. A-hole. Pining over 19-year-old Helena Turnsby because he wants to marry rich." Eleanor looks up from the letter she is reading, and gazes out the large bay window in the Clarington Estate. "Well, he'll be easy to kill," she says without batting an eye. 

Eleanor Clarington is trained to kill. But of course, 1920's England isn't quite used to meeting murderous young girls every day, so El works undercover. 

Helena Turnsby's parents have hired an Elliotte Clarington to come and murder the untimely man who is trying to take their daughter away for the money and riches she owns. The Turnsby's don't know that Elliotte is really an Eleanor, and nor do they know that El will take care of The Henry Problem better than any man in the county could. 

But Eleanor doesn't know the secrets that run in her family, or Helena's attractive brother, Wilhelm, or the drama that is about to ensue once she moves to the Turnsby's estate. 

Will she come through with her mission and kill Henry? Or will love, fate and family get in the way?All Rights Reserved

A crime boss struggles to carry out a vendetta after he falls for the spirited daughter of his enemy. ***** Twenty-two years after his parents were killed, Federico Di Maggio returns to New York with a simple plan: take down the man who betrayed his family. What he didn't plan on was Elenora Borelli, the enigmatic and fiery daughter of his enemy. Reeling from recent heartbreak, Elenora will stop at nothing to find her happiness. But when she finds herself pressured into an engagement with the dark and mysterious Federico, happiness may be the least of her problems. Hellbent on sabotaging the arrangement, Elenora defies Federico in ways no one else would ever dare. Too bad Federico's never been one to back down from a challenge. Especially one that calls to him in the most feral and passionate of ways. With unforeseen betrayals and new rivals, perhaps the real challenge Federico must face is deciding whether to fight his feelings for Elenora or give into them. But even if he chooses to end his long-standing vendetta against her father for mounting sparks between them, there's no guarantee she'll risk her heart on him. *Content Advisory: This story contains coarse language, scenes with violence and mature sexual content.
