Cover Comment: It’s perfect!

Setting: Present day USA, both New York City and more rural parts of the US.

Series?: No, I don’t think so.

Hero and Heroine: Drea, beautiful, but incredibly insecure blonde drug lord’s moll, and The Assassin, ______________  , ________________ , ______________ (can you describe him in a way that differentiates him from, say, Halloween’s Michael Myers? I can’t.)

Plot: Drug lord gives girlfriend to a hitman as a prize. Girlfriend’s bout of sex with said assassin provides catalyst for decision to leave drug lord, stealing his money in the process. Drug lord hires assassin to kill girlfriend. Strange doings ensue. (that’s as spoiler free as I can make it).
