Love at First Kill - Paperback

by Mary E. Roach (Author)

A hit man conspires with an unlikely new partner who has vengeance on her mind in a riveting and emotional novel of romantic suspense by the author of We Are the Match.

Contract killer Jack O'Sullivan has corrupt billionaire Cale Jacobson in his crosshairs--until a woman in red ambushes Cale first, ruining the biggest payday of Jack's career. To make matters worse, Ava Cavalcante, with her haunted eyes and nothing-left-to-lose fury, isn't even a rival assassin...she's just a vengeance-driven ex-librarian with a cute dress and limited impulse control. Jack should walk away. Instead, he recruits her to help him finish the job.

But Ava's grief and fury run deep, and her fire pulls Jack in fast. As they're forced to work together if they want any hope of finishing this job (or getting revenge), their bond turns from reluctant alliance to dangerous desire.

Between planning a murder, running for their lives, and hooking up in shady motels, they end up with more than either of them bargained for...and they also might be one kiss away from their own happily ever after. If they don't betray each other first.
