WANTED: Executive Assistant. Must be organized, discreet, and definitely not a trained assassin investigating her boss for murder.
Julia checks two of those boxes. The third one? Not so much.
When her father is murdered, Julia's family is convinced mob boss Quentin Vanetti is responsible. Julia's mission: get hired, get evidence, and get out. Easy.
Except Quentin is: a) Possibly innocent b) Definitely hotc) Extremely suspicious of her "perfect" résumé d) Really invested in their arguments about office décor.
Between fending off her family's questions, managing actual job responsibilities, and trying not to kiss her boss during their increasingly heated "professional disagreements," Julia is discovering that undercover work is a lot harder when you're catching feelings.
Her deadline is one month. Her cover is slipping. And her heart? Completely compromised.
Time to figure out the truth—before her family discovers she's fallen for the wrong man.
A sexy, suspenseful rom-com where the real crime is how good they look together. Warning: Contains mafia intrigue, workplace banter, one very inconvenient attraction, and complications neither of them saw coming. Perfect for fans of Lucy Score and Penny Reid.

Okay where to start. Well first, this is a spin off from the author's main series (Shelby Nichols Adventures-which I would also recommend). It's actually a series that is written by one of the characters in the book and is loosely based on Shelby and the gang. So yes I couldn't help but imagine them as the ones in this book, the only difference is the names.
The story might be about how the Mob boss and his secretary fell in love and yes they end up in bed but it's not over the top and doesn't go on for pages and pages, giving you details. Instead the story is more focused on the circumstances of how they got involved and whether they survive the encounter. And oh boy, was that complicated and entertaining at the same time. The story is told by both Julia and Quentin, which works well as you get both sides of the story and both perspectives as the characters learn it they can trust each other or not. I can't wait for the next adventure.
When a Mob boss is killed, the family send his daughter to get close to there suspect and take him out.
So when Quentin's secretary is set to retire, Julia applies for the job and the family give her a month to get the job done. There's two problems with that plan, first the more she gets to know Quentin the less she is convince he is behind the death and second trying to fight her attraction to him is proving to be harder than she thought. With the family getting impatient for results, Julia will have to decide Quentin's fate by proving him guilty or as she hopes innocent. Proving him innocent brings its own problems because if Quentin didn't do it then it means someone in the family did. And will Quentin still want her after he learns she was sent to kill him?
I liked the narrator. She is not the normal narrator this author uses but I think that was the right decision as it would have been too much like reading a Shelby book otherwise. She also does a good job and hope the author will use her for further books in the series.
