What do you do when you’re a hitman … who’s terrible at his job?

At first, I thought it would be an easy payday. A few pew pews for bad people, a couple of suitcases of cash for me. People have done worse for an honest living. Probably.

The problem is that after a couple jobs, I’ve never actually managed to unalive someone, and not for lack of trying. Apparently, a basic requirement of a hitman is being a good shot.

Despite my constant duck-ups–that my boss knows nothing about–I’m given another name, and I very nearly follow through. Only after obliterating this guy’s ear, and his fervent pleading to spare him, I’ve sent him into hiding and collected the cash anyway.

But wanted people are hard to hide, and bad guys don’t like paying big money for loose ends.

Now that Van Gogh has shown his face again—sans ear—I’ve scammed my way into his security team, which is sort of ideal since I’m now highly wanted as well.

Unfortunately, we have some “trust issues” to “work through” from our meet-shoot, and with the gorgeous bastard’s brother missing, he refuses to lay low until they’re reunited.

I’m not sold on the plan honestly, but this guy has me questioning my sexuality along with my career path, and I’m at the point where I’m determined to see a job through to the end.

Or die trying.

But hey, at least then I’d finally deliver a body.

Perry is a sweet guy but a hot mess who has had bad luck and is desperate for employment. So he dives into a situation that he should’ve never been put in, and he fails at that job too, and leaves a witness. And now he has found himself embroiled in a situation where not only is he in danger, but so is the guy he let get away.

St. Clare was just looking for his missing brother, and he didn’t even have a clue what is going on and why all of a sudden he seemed to be targeted. But St. Clare finds himself drawn to this himbo of a hitman failure, and as they uncover layers of mystery and try to figure out what is all going on in the background while trying to keep themselves safe, they get closer and closer.

Perry is an endearing mess who acts before he thinks. St. Clare is not sure what to think now that his safe life has been upended. It’s hard to tell who’s good, who’s bad, and what they’re going to find as they unfold this mystery. Perry is just such an enthusiastic, impulsive agent of chaos, and he doesn’t even mean to be. Reilly St. Clare was just living a fairly boring life until Perry blew his way into his life.

But now they’re both really living and enjoying certain aspects of life while just trying to keep alive and avoid the bad guys. There’s a motley crew of side characters along for the ride, and even they have questionable intentions.

This is a rom-commy, low angst, forced proximity, bi-awakening, mystery, and suspense romance with the himbo-ist himbo hitman ever and his perfect match who loves him for all his quirks.
