Pink. Perfect. And Packing Heat. 🩷💅

Amiyah Lane is sugar, spice, and absolutely lethal.

With her bubblegum-pink wardrobe, dazzling smile, and 4.0 GPA, she's the picture perfect law student at Blackthorn University. But behind the sparkles and study sessions, she's also one of the most meticulous hit women in the underground—trained by the best—before her father was sent away for life. Every job is clean, calculated, and covered under legal loopholes she's mastered like a second language.

Life is going exactly as planned...until he shows up.

Jae Kim is the new Korean exchange student with model looks, a mysterious past, and a smile that makes Amiyah's stomach do cartwheels. Unbeknownst to her, he's the secret heir to a powerful American-Korean music empire, living under an alias to escape his suffocating legacy.

Their chemistry is instant. Their secrets? Explosive.

Too bad Amiyah just got the assignment that could destroy them both.

The Jae Kim.

She's never missed a mark before, but she's also never had feelings for one.

Now with a deadline closing in and emotions she can't afford clouding her judgment, Amiyah is walking a tightrope between desire and loyalty.

One wrong move and everything she's built—her future, her freedom, her carefully controlled double life—could come crashing down.

Because in her world, catching feelings isn't just dangerous.

It's deadly.
