The Hitman’s Love Contract

Summary

Bella Carmichael is a frazzled single mom of three, a floundering romance author, and the unwilling star of her ex-husband's midlife crisis. Between parenting drama, sagging book sales, and enduring her smarmy ex's legal wrangling, the last thing she needs is a date—especially not with a tall, mysterious stranger from a dating site.

But when her agent signs her up without permission and Mr. International Man of Mystery, John Smith, actually replies, Bella figures one date won't hurt.

John isn't just sexy, attentive, and shockingly good with kids—he's also the hitman her ex-husband secretly hired to take her out. Only John has a soft spot for romance novels . . . and an even softer spot for Bella.

Now, John's playing boyfriend and bodyguard, all while dodging bullets, outrunning rival assassins, and falling hard for the very woman he was sent to kill. And Bella? She's rediscovering her passion, her power, and maybe a killer kind of love.

Throw in a precocious spy-in-training daughter, a tomboy kindergartner facing a school scandal, and a sporty tween who just wants a stable dad, and Bella's life is suddenly starting to feel a lot like one of her novels.
