Now or Never

Stephanie Plum's life is set to detonate in this electrifying new novel. Our favourite unpredictable bounty hunter has found herself in an unprecedented predicament: she's agreed to marry two men, Morelli and Ranger, but hasn't quite figured out how to extricate herself from this love triangle. As if navigating three-way fiancé trouble wasn't enough, there are more pressing threats looming on the horizon. Stephanie may need all her wits about her just to survive long enough to reach the altar.

With her personal life in chaos, Stephanie seeks escape by throwing herself into her bounty hunting. She takes on various cases, each more bizarre and dangerous than the last. First is Eugene Fleck, a seemingly benign online influencer who could also be the elusive YouTube hero, Robin Hoody, a masked vigilante fighting for the homeless. Then there's Bruno Jug, an affluent man with unsavoury rumours trailing him, involving illicit activities hidden behind his legitimate wholesale produce businesses. Most menacing of all is Zoran, the laundromat manager by day who moonlights as a self-proclaimed vampire with a thirst for the blood of young women. Stephanie's encounter with Zoran is far from a social call and raises the stakes to deadly new heights.

As Stephanie tracks down these fugitives from justice, she finds herself using every cunning strategy in her repertoire to stay one step ahead. But amidst the daily hazards of bounty hunting, her tangled romantic life refuses to be ignored. She's torn between Ranger and Morelli, two men who each bring a unique blend of chaos and support to her life. Adding to her stress, Stephanie harbours a significant secret from both of them – a secret that could change everything.

With her usual blend of humour, sass, and tenacity, Stephanie Plum faces a pivotal moment: it's now or never to disclose her secret and decide on her future. The resulting whirlwind of events is classic Stephanie; unpredictable, thrilling, and hilariously entertaining.
