Synopsis:

Take one food writer named Cranky Agnes, add a hitman named Shane, mix them together with a Southern mob wedding, a missing necklace, two annoyed flamingos, and a dog named Rhett and you've got a recipe for a sexy, hilarious novel about the disastrous side of true love…

Agnes Crandall's life goes awry when a dognapper invades her kitchen one night, seriously hampering her attempts to put on a wedding that she's staked her entire net worth on.

Then a hero climbs through her bedroom window. His name is Shane, no last name, just Shane, and he has his own problems: he's got a big hit scheduled, a rival trying to take him out, and an ex-mobster uncle asking him to protect some little kid named Agnes.

When he finds out that Agnes isn't so little, his uncle has forgotten to mention a missing five million bucks he might have lost in Agnes's house, and his last hit was a miss, Shane's life isn't looking so good, either.

Then a bunch of lowlifes come looking for the money, a string of hit men show up for Agnes, and some wedding guests gather with intent to throw more than rice. Agnes and Shane have their hands full with greed, florists, treachery, flamingos, mayhem, mothers of the bride, and–most dangerous of all–each other. 

Agnes and the Hitman is the perfect combination of sugar and spice, sweet and salty–a novel of delicious proportions.

About the Authors:

Jennifer Crusie was researching her dissertation on the differences in the way men and women tell stories when she got sidetracked into writing romance novels.

Her first book was published in 1993 (which pretty much finished off any hope of her getting that PhD) and her twenty-fifth book, One in Vermillion, part of the Liz Danger mystery series written in collaboration with Bob Mayer, came out in September of 2023, all of which she considers a minor miracle, especially since she is also a New York Times, USA Today and Publisher's Weekly bestseller and a two-time Rita award winner.

Jenny is now working on the Rocky Start mystery series also in collaboration with Bob Mayer. She is a very happy woman.

Bob Mayer grew up in New York City and is a NY Times Bestselling author and graduate of West Point.

He was an Infantry platoon leader, a Battalion Scout platoon leader and Brigade recon platoon leader in the First Cav Division. Then he joined Special Forces and commanded a Green Beret A-Team as well as other special duty assignments.

He’s had over 75 books published and sold over 5 million, including the #1 series The Green Berets, Shadow Warriors, Area 51, Atlantis and the Time Patrol. Having traveled the world, including living in the Orient where he earned a black belt, and on an island off the east coast of the US and one off the west coast, in the Rockies and Smokies and places in between, he now lives peacefully with his wife and dogs.

He previously wrote under multiple pen names including Robert Doherty, Greg Donegan, Joe Dalton and Bob McGuire.
