What happens when a snarky hitman and a by the book PI cross pathsLeland Being a hitman has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he s caught on a fence would be one of them While it s not exactly love at first sight, he s captured my interest and won t let go Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy He pretends like he s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally not fictitious blow up doll Randy or was it Dandy , but I know better Why else would he be teaming up with me to bring down Hardek, one of the city s most ruthless criminals Jackson Even though the cops are telling me that the hitman is a notorious contract killer, I can t help but admit that I m drawn to him He s funny, charismatic, and attractive There s no way this ridiculous man can be the person the cops are after But when Leland ends up at my doorstep injured, I m faced with a tough choice It s my duty to hand him over to law enforcement, but my heart has other plans I want to keep him To protect him To be with him Though one question remains why in the world does the man have so many d mn guns Contains shenanigans on a swing that you would NOT find at a playground, a car chase that sadly doesn t have flips or explosions, a horsey ride sans horse, cuddles, an exuberant mutt, a suspicious chief of police, and lots and lots of laughs.
