In a world where power is measured in fear, and loyalty is bought with blood, Emily Taylor has survived ten years as a ghost—running, hiding, and trusting no one. But when the man who once haunted her dreams, Liam Bianchi, returns, she is forced to confront not just the shadows of her past, but the strength she never knew she possessed.
From the neon-lit motels of Chicago to the sun-drenched cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, Emily must navigate a dangerous game of vengeance, deception, and deadly alliances. As enemies close in and the cost of survival rises, she learns that protection comes at a price—and sometimes, that price is measured in blood.
The Cleaner’s Price is a gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between a man and a woman who refuse to be victims. In a world built on violence, only those willing to fight can claim their freedom—and their hearts.
