Book Description
No one warned Shane or Agnes that it was going to be a red wedding. It's eight months after the first, bloody, wedding at Two Rivers and things have calmed down and seven weddings have been hosted without a problem. But no longer. Bring on an eclectic hitwoman, an amiable Duke, an icy Duchess, a lot of sharp swords, a crazed ex-Duchess, a computer hacker and a dog named Rhett, and you've got a recipe for an action-packed, hilarious novel about the perils and promises of commitment. Shane has no idea as he's hidden on a snowy hillside with his sniper rifle on a job for the Organization, how the mission connects to a pending wedding. The operation goes to hell and he's rescued by his back-up; a younger, diminutive operative named Phoebe, who is armed with a short, but very sharp sword and an even sharper tongue. A 'small, intimate wedding' is what was promised. But too late he learns that it involves fate of a small, but powerful European kingdom. At stake? Not just Shane's life and Two Rivers, but his future with Agnes and the Organization. For Phoebe, an up and comer in the Organization, it's her chance to show what's she capable of. But standing in the way is the crazed ex-wife of the Duke, a mountain of a man armed with a very big sword, and a traitor within the ranks of the Organization itself. Who will be left standing and what will their future look like?

Pages : 432
Book Description
Think of the movies Grosse Pointe Blank or RED. Retired covert operatives living in a small town in the Smoky Mountains. What could go wrong? Available for a limited time on Google until 1 August 2024. Rose Malone’s landlord and employer, Ozzie Oswald, just died and now she has no idea if she has a job or if she and her daughter, Poppy, have a place to live, and that’s on top of the arrest warrant that’s been out for her for nineteen years. Then a stranger shows up claiming to be Ozzie’s son and tries to throw her out, so she swings a reproduction of the Maltese Falcon at him, and just as she’s about to finish him off in a rage, somebody grabs him and throws him into the street. Max Reddy just wants his boots. He’s walking the Appalachian trail with his dog Maggs and stopping for them in Rocky Start, when he sees a feisty middle-aged woman swinging a Maltese Falcon at a guy who backhands her. Max throws the guy into the street and continues on his way, determined to get his boots and get out of town, even if Feisty is pretty cute. He’s been alone on the Trail a long time. Some trees are looking good to him. All Rose wants to know is what’s going on, so she follows Max to the post office, no ulterior motive, honest. Except to pick his pocket to find out who he is, then he can go. But by nightfall, she’s invited him under her roof for her own protection since they're dealing with a town full of retired spies, including a sly-eyed moocher, a suspicious sheriff, a knife-wielding bakery owner, a strange woman who looks like a vampire, a conniving teenager, and a dog who's decided she's done with the Appalachian Trail. And Max is starting to think his dog is right. Rocky Start: This could be the start of something dangerous.

Pages : 398
Book Description
Rose Malone’s future is looking pretty bright except for three things: Her daughter is struggling with PTSD after being kidnapped, her lover is hitting the Appalachian Trail and taking his dog with him, and the rumor that there might be a million bucks in the building she just inherited has spread, and now every money-hungry ex-spy in her weird little town is bringing her cheap flowers and offering to search the place for her. Max Reddy needs to get back to the Appalachian Trail with his dog, Maggs, leaving his memories of the work he did for decades and the town of Rocky Start behind; it’s hard to recover from a life of undercover work when you’re in a community of ex-agents. But that community also has a woman and her daughter who he cares about more than he thought possible. Still, he made it his last mission to finish walking the entire trail, and he’s not the kind of guy who doesn’t finish what he starts. Rose understands why Max needs to go, but then there’s a death in town, and suddenly Rose and Max are once again dealing with a town full of retired spies and assassins, one of whom may have decided to go back to work. The targets seem to be the retired agents who may know things somebody wants buried, literally: the voluptuous bakery owner, the even more voluptuous femme fatale, the bitchy beekeeper, the hinky pharmacist, the obnoxious exterminator, the dignified funeral home operators, the divorcing postal workers, the sweet little old assassin with the support llama, and most annoying of all, Max. Very Nice Funerals: Somebody is taking “cleaning up the town” to a much lower level.

Pages : 445
Book Description
From the NY Times Bestselling duo that wrote Agnes and the Hitman, the first book in a new trilogy. Liz Danger has come home after fifteen years to deliver a giant teddy bear for her mother’s birthday (color: Guilt Red) when a cop with a great ass picks her up for speeding, fixes the missing lug nuts in her back wheel, pulls her out of a ditch, doesn’t give her a ticket, and helps her avoid her family. This is a man with real potential. The rest of the day goes downhill, starting with her finding out that the only man she’s ever loved is getting married to Lavender Blue, the most beautiful woman in southern Ohio. Really, the best thing in her day is that cop with the lug nuts. Vince Cooper is still not sure about being a cop in Burney, Ohio, a place he just moved to six months ago, since Burney is full of some fairly odd people spaced between long stretches of boredom. Still, considering the dangerous, difficult life he had before Burney, boredom is good. Then he picks up Liz Danger for speeding and life gets a lot more interesting. And when he picks her up again in the local bar the next night, he starts to realize that “interesting” doesn’t begin to describe what’s going to happen to him if he pulls Liz into his arms and his life. As Liz navigates her dysfunctional family, her flamboyant boss phoning in from Chicago, her still-interested ex, her bridesmaid dress from hell, a dachshund with issues, a disaster of a wedding, assault, murder, and three hundred and ninety-three teddy bears, Vince shows up to get her through, even though he knows that the real peril for him in Burney is the one who came with her own warning label, Liz Danger.

Lucy Armstrong is a director of television commercials who's just been recruited to finish a four-day action movie shoot.
