Slay Ride: A Dark Rom-Com (The Slaycation Series, Book 2)

When a hitman and his most infuriating rival end up at the same Alaskan winter retreat, someone is absolutely going to die — and it might just be from the tension.

Bennett Carter is having the worst year of his professional life. A botched hit has left him broke, blacklisted, and desperately in need of a change of scenery. An Alaskan wilderness retreat sounds like the perfect escape — until he spots Catarina Novak across the lodge lobby. His sworn rival. His favorite headache. The one woman who knows exactly how to get under his skin.

Catarina isn't thrilled to see him either. She's come to the frozen north to clear her head, enjoy some scenery, and quietly check off her very first professional kill. Bennett Carter showing up unannounced was not part of the itinerary. Neither was his immediate, gleeful campaign to sabotage her every move.

Their sharp-tongued sparring is practically a competitive sport — until a brutal winter storm rolls in and strands them together in the Alaskan wilderness with no allies, dwindling supplies, and nowhere to direct all that furious energy except at each other. Survival has a way of stripping pretenses down to the bone, and what's underneath all that hostility turns out to be far more dangerous than either of them bargained for.

Dark, wickedly funny, and scorchingly hot, *Slay Ride* proves that the line between wanting to kill someone and wanting to kiss them has never been thinner.
