Rose is trying to settle in Rocky Start. The difficult part is that she's a former assassin and so are many of the other residents. Tough crowd. Many are of the retirement age except for her daughter Poppy who is another worry on her mind as an unknown assassin has attempted to disrupt and kill the current crowd of retirees.
Rose's new and hopefully permanent mate, Max, is hiking the Appalachian Trail. He's claiming to hike the treacherous snowy path for the exercise and beauty, but there's also the suspicion of a hidden treasure somewhere in the trees.
Poppy helps her mom with an incognito second-hand shop while a quiet newcomer, Marley, parks his truck in the alley behind Rose and Poppy's home for protection. It takes a while for Poppy and Marley to trust each other. It's a town that trust needs to be earned, yet each laugh, coffee, lasagna, and meeting advances the romance.
After several attempted murders on multiple residents, the "good" assassins collaborate and weed out the bad. Just in time to allow social activities to resume in a semi-normal romantic venue. Makes me believe romance can prevail in almost any situation!
Happy reading,
Dawn
