What to expect

'Killing Eve meets Bridget Jones' Crime Monthly

'This fun, quirky read really hits the mark!' The Sun

She always gets her man … but has Maisie Baxter met her match?

Maisie Baxter is determined not to let her job as an ethical hitwoman get in the way of her social life, but it’s tough when your hours are extremely unpredictable and you can’t share any details of your day.

So she can’t tell her friends about the guy that keeps showing up on her missions. Will. He’s cute – really cute – and he’s desperate to speak to her.

Maisie is sure Will works for the competition, but they’re going to have to put aside their professional rivalry when it becomes clear a dangerous conspiracy threatens them both. Maisie always gets her man, but has she finally met her match?

Tropes:
