Sweet Maggie Hamilton comes from a long line of people paid to professionally end lives.
Unfortunately, Maggie is a family failure.
Age? Twenty-nine. Kill count? A deeply embarrassing zero .
So when her father decides to marry her off to her psychotic ex at thirty to help her take over the family business, Maggie hatches a plan for the world’s worst fake relationship to buy some time.
Which is where broad-shouldered, bad-tempered, offensively attractive Roman Ellis comes in. Maggie’s neighbour, who is about as interested in her as he is in a slow, painful death.
But Maggie isn’t offering him a choice. With Roman tied to the passenger seat, she’s taking him as her plus one to her father’s second wedding in the Highlands.
All Maggie has to do is survive the week without dying, murdering anyone or letting anyone in a house of professional killers know that her serious long-term boyfriend is actually her hostage.
Unfortunately for her, Roman isn’t going to make it that easy.
Packed with murder, wicked humour and killer spice, this dark romcom is the first in the addictive Killer Kin series.
Please note that this book was previously published as The Unwilling Plus One.
