I Chose an Assassin for My Dad

When five-year-old Lila dies in an orphanage fire, she wakes up on her third birthday with one chance to change her fate. She refuses to wait for the father who abandoned her. Instead, she seeks out Damian—the feared man who once showed her kindness—and asks, “Can you be my daddy?” Damian offers only temporary shelter, but his guarded family slowly becomes the home Lila never had. Then her estranged brother returns, secrets from Damian’s past put them all in danger, and Lila’s birth father demands her back. With two families fighting over her future, Lila must decide who will truly stay when she needs them most.
