Trigger Happy

When it comes to murder, Serena and Lawton couldn’t be more different. There’s only one thing they have in common—they’re both contract killers. Serena’s a clever, Manhattan darling with a penchant for poison-tipped manicures. Lawton is a reckless, down-and-dirty cowboy who isn’t afraid to make a mess, as long as he gets the job done. They’ve despised each other for years, ever since that one fatal night… 
 
But when they’re hired for the same job in Wyoming, they quickly realize they’ll have to put their differences aside if they want to get it over with. The only catch? They have to play the part of an oh-so-happily married couple. As if that isn’t hard enough, things get even messier when they start questioning their targets, thinking this might not be the job they initially signed up for. Did they just stumble into a dangerous trap? And more importantly, will they kill off any chance at something real before they can make it out alive? 
 
 Tropes: - Forced proximity- Fake Marriage- Rivals to Lovers- City-girl / Country-boy- Opposites Attract

Meredith Trapp

She’s Texas's toughest bull rider, and he’s determined to win her heart. 
 
Dakota and Wyatt. Storm and sunshine. Growing up, they were as inseparable as a pair of cowboy boots. The best of friends – or so Dakota thought. 
 
Every summer, Wyatt would come home to his family’s flower farm in Granite Falls, Texas, and they’d stargaze in the fields together, pinkies brushing, laughter rumbling with the cicadas . . . until one summer, he never returned. 
 
Dakota hasn’t heard a peep from Wyatt in over three years, and during that time, a lot has changed. He’s the hockey world’s golden boy, and she’s developed a reputation as “The Cowboy Killer,” breaking both rodeo records and men’s hearts. The last thing Dakota needs is a distraction from her bull-riding goals, but everything changes when her old friend waltzes back into town with an adorable baby on his hip. 
 
Wyatt’s back to get the girl he’s been obsessing over for years, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get her back – two-stepping at the rodeo, jumping into Cibolo Creek, even rendezvousing in outdoor showers. All Dakota wants is to keep her distance and focus on training, but when she learns the truth behind why Wyatt left, she finds it hard to stay away. . . 
 
The scorching Texas sun might not be the only thing that burns them this summer.
