Here's Onley James's latest: a novella titled "Killer Love." It's the second installment of her newest series Kiss. Kill. Repeat.
["Walker Hayes likes his life exactly the way it is: quiet, predictable, and free of attachments. As a long-haul truck driver—and occasional contract killer—he prefers his company limited to history podcasts and his fat orange cat, Carrot Cake. People are messy. Complicated. Temporary.
Dakota King is all of those things.
After narrowly escaping a serial killer, Kota expects a hospital visit, maybe some therapy, and definitely a lifetime of trust issues. What he doesn’t expect is being rescued by an emotionally unavailable hitman, who promptly kidnaps Kota until he figures out what to do with him.
To be fair, Walker isn’t entirely sure it’s kidnapping since Kota keeps making himself at home.
Now, they’re crossing state lines with a judgemental cat, a frozen corpse, and an increasingly concerning amount of sexual tension. And with every minute that passes, it becomes harder for Walker to ignore the truth: he doesn’t want Kota to leave.
But happily-ever-afters get complicated when you’re hauling human remains, dodging police attention, and falling for a man who thinks being kidnapped is a perfectly acceptable meet-cute.
Walker has never wanted to keep anyone before.
Unfortunately for Kota, that might be exactly the problem."]
YES! All of the yes. Horrible and awkward meet-cute? Check. Instant chemistry? Check. Judgy cat also playing match-maker? Check. Imprinting on someone like a baby swan? Check. Wanting to be taken care of plus wanting go take care/worship? Hard check.
I love how hard they fell, how certain they were. I love how messy but not perfect it was. I loooves seeing some Tris and Cade.
I canNOT wait for more!!! Like that bonus epilogue?!?!?!?! D: That shit better be the next book.
Again, would very much not say not to a Mulvaney cross over.
Trigger Warnings: violence, murder, kidnapping, toxic parents, mentions of past SA as a child, and more.
