Deadly Little Valentine
Forget the flowers—this Valentine’s Day, I’m trading heart-shaped boxes for high-caliber rounds. My target is a tech billionaire with a god complex, but what should have been a clean hit quickly devolves into a nightmare of corporate lies and vengeful exes. Between a lethal power struggle and a midnight swim that turns into a fight for survival, this is one date I might not live to regret.
- Marin - Professional assassin
- Jane - Marin’s agent
- Philippe Duval - Marin’s current target
- Lucien - Philippe’s hired assassin
- Marin heads to a villa in Mauritius where she is sent to kill a billionaire who is cheating on his wife.
- Marin thought Lucien was in Europe but he’s here with Philippe.
- Marin lures Lucien to her villa where she shoots and kills him.
- Marin dumps Lucien’s body in the bay hoping it will wash up near Philippe’s vila.
- Marin gives herself facial wounds and bruises then goes to the beach where Lucien’s body is and pretends to be hysterical, claiming they were both attacked.
- Philippe’s security team finds her and Lucien’s body and take Marin into Philippe’s villa.
- When Philippe sees Marin poses no threat, he attempts to sleep with her.
- Marin pulls a blade out of her corset and slices Philippe’s throat and then puts his freshly severed cock and balls into his mouth as instructed by the client.
- Marin kills both of Philippe’s security guards.
- On the way back to her villa, Marin encounters another of Philippe’s security guards, who says he threw Lucien’s body into the bay, believes Philippe deserved to die, and will tell anyone who asks that Lucien killed Philippe.
- Marin swims into the ocean to meet the boat that is to pick her up.
Given its 54-page length, this is a perfect "coffee break" thriller. It’s a fun and raunchy Valentine's read that focuses more on the main character’s internal monologue than heavy action.
It serves as a solid bridge for the series, and the ending leaves a great question mark about where everything is headed next. A great choice if you want something short and violent to celebrate the holiday!
