Once he proves his innocence, Simca falls for his charm and wit. Then he attempts to assassinate an innocent journalist. With quick thinking and a compelling story, she may be able to stop him—if he doesn't stop her first.

ASSASSINZ Romantic Thrillers consist of unique standalone novels. The series features splashy plots, happily-ever-after endings, and twists on contemporary topics—think The Blacklist meets Jodi Picoult. The heat level is warm (Nora Roberts rather than a lurid bump-in-grind), the profanity is minimal to nonexistent, and the violence is network-television variety. Although each hits the beats of genre romance and thriller novels, they are unlike anything you've ever read.
