Assigned to Kill Her

He was sent to kill her. Now he’s the only one who can keep her alive.

Forensic accountant Lena Marsh notices everything. So when one death certificate turns up twice in a charity’s payment run, she pulls the thread, and finds nine grieving families who never existed, quietly paid for years by the foundation she has spent eleven years protecting.

That same night, a man lets himself into her apartment with a screwdriver and all the time in the world.

Jonah Calder was supposed to be the one to do it. For nine days he watched her through her own laptop camera, logging every coffee, every late night, every time she didn’t cry. Then the order came, and instead of carrying it out, he broke in to stop it.

Now Lena is wanted by the police, her accounts are frozen, and her face is in every paper. The mentor who has known her since childhood wants her to come home. A brilliant analyst has been hired to predict her every move. Her sister is within reach of the people hunting her. And the only person standing between Lena and a staged suicide is the man who knows exactly how she sleeps.

She doesn’t trust him. So she audits him: his files, his footage, his lies. She sets the rules, writes them down, and makes him sign. And every line she checks drags them both deeper into a conspiracy that reaches back to her own family, and to his.

The Assigned to Kill Her series follows Lena and Jonah across seven books of dark romantic suspense: a heroine who counts everything, a dangerous man who has to learn to knock, and a love that has to be earned in daylight.

Inside you’ll find:

• An assassin hero who watched her before he ever met her
• A sharp, capable heroine who leads, investigates and sets the terms
• Forced proximity, safehouses, a gala con and a deadly heist
• Dual point of view, his and hers
• Slow burn, high heat: six explicit, open-door scenes with clear consent
• A morally grey hero who earns forgiveness through actions, not words
• No cheating, no love triangle

Is it a standalone? Book One completes its central case and ends on a happy-for-now, with no romantic cliffhanger, but it closes with a hook into Book Two. Every book follows Lena and Jonah, so the series is best read in order.
