Description

When the hunter falls for her prey, things go from deadly to downright ridiculous.Danika Smith is a hitwoman with a flawless record, a sharp sense of humor, and the patience of a saint—unless you annoy her, in which case, good luck.Her latest job? Take down the father of Emilio De Luca’s unwanted, arranged fiancée.Her method? Stalk the big, sweet mafia man until he unknowingly leads her right to her target. Easy, right?Well, it was easy… until Danika got to know Emilio.Sure, he’s built like a tank and technically terrifying on paper, but in reality? The guy’s more teddy bear than grizzly. Between his soft heart, slightly-too-liberal whiskey habit, and tendency to rescue stray cats like it’s his side hustle, Danika is starting to have a hard time remembering she’s supposed to be using him—not liking him.And liking him is dangerous. Almost as dangerous as Emilio trying to cook dinner.Now Danika’s in a bit of a Her mission? Falling apart faster than Emilio’s last attempt at fixing an over cooked turkey dinner.Her target? Still not found (annoyingly).Her heart? Apparently not as bulletproof as she thought. As Emilio bumbles his way closer to discovering her identity and secrets—and Danika finds herself enjoying his company—she’s faced with a terrifying she might be willing to put a man's needs above her own revenge mission.Worse, she might actually be falling for the big guy in question.Game On is the first book of three following Danika Smith, a recently retired hitwoman who needs a mark to stay sane, and Emilio De Luca, a sweet and soft mafia man, who's currently pretending to be in charge of his family of menaces. This story, is hilarious, slow burn spicy, and thrilling. It follows Danika as she seeks revenge against an old enemy, whilst Emilio does whatever he can to get out of his unwanted arranged marriage, to that same mans daughter. Expect lots of fun flipped tropes, in this found family and female stalker story with mild forced proximity & strangers to friends to lovers. In a MF, romantic comedy & suspense trilogy.This series is full of interconnected standalones, duologies, trilogies, and more — a world of powerful families, deadly rivalries, and unforgettable love stories. Each character in each main family (and the fun side characters) gets their own story with a complete ending but I think it's more fun to read them all and see all the great cameos and shenanigans that occur.
