"Bella Carmichael is a frazzled single mom of three, a floundering romance author, and the unwilling star of her ex-husband's midlife crisis. Between parenting drama, sagging book sales, and enduring her smarmy ex's legal wrangling, the last thing she needs is a date—especially not with a tall, mysterious stranger from a dating site.
But when her agent signs her up without permission and Mr. International Man of Mystery, John Smith, actually replies, Bella figures one date won't hurt.
John isn't just sexy, attentive, and shockingly good with kids—he's also the hitman her ex-husband secretly hired to take her out. Only John has a soft spot for romance novels . . . and an even softer spot for Bella.
Now, John's playing boyfriend and bodyguard, all while dodging bullets, outrunning rival assassins, and falling hard for the very woman he was sent to kill. And Bella? She's rediscovering her passion, her power, and maybe a killer kind of love.
Throw in a precocious spy-in-training daughter, a tomboy kindergartner facing a school scandal, and a sporty tween who just wants a stable dad, and Bella's life is suddenly starting to feel a lot like one of her novels."

April Statham had it all – until her husband left her for a blonde ten years her junior. Now she’s thirty-five, single, and starting again. So she does what anyone in her position would do: she impulsively invests her life savings in the chalet park she used to visit as a child, on the beautiful Cornish Coast.
The Shady Pines Chalet Park is… ramshackle. But it has one big advantage – it is as far as physically possible from April’s ex, his new fiancée, and her old life. With gorgeous handyman Cillian O’Leary, April is looking forward to the challenge.
As visitors arrive, April realises that Shady Pines isn’t just a second chance for her, it gives Cillian another shot at happiness too.
But when he moves into the chalet next door, April’s painful past starts to catch up with her, and she struggles to reconcile her feelings for Cillian.
Is April’s new beginning destined to end in failure – or will she find new friends, a new life and new love at her second chance hotel?
