An action-packed, hilarious enemies-to-lovers thriller for fans of Katy Brent, Jesse Sutanto, and Ally Carter.

She always gets her man … but has Maisie Baxter met her match?

*

Maisie Baxter has a particular set of skills honed over a very successful career.

She’s determined not to let her job at a boutique, ethical assassin agency get in the way of her social life, but it's tough when your hours are extremely unpredictable and you can't share any details of your day.

So she can't tell her friends about the guy that keeps showing up on her missions. Will. He's cute – really cute – and he's desperate to speak to her.

Maisie is sure Will works for the competition, but it soon becomes clear that a much greater danger stalks them both. And they're going to have to put aside their professional rivalry and their budding sexual tension if they have any hope of uncovering a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top.

Hitwoman is funny, sexy, and strangely relatable. I cheered for the protagonist even as she committed multiple murders and loved the rom-com style romance.' Tasha Coryell

‘Who’d have thought murder could be such fun? … A wonderful not so cosy crime masterpiece.’ Graham Bartlett

Hitwoman is the most fun I’ve had reading a thriller this year! Elsie Marks has created a fun, funny, and fast-paced romp that’s pitch-perfect.’ Kellye Garrett
