Is there a twelve-step program for recovering assassins? Kayla McKenna knows what it feels like to kill another human being-and she likes it. After her father was murdered by terrorists, she was consumed by the need for revenge. But landing her dream job as a CIA assassin turns out to be merely a stepping stone to retribution. One botched mission earns Kayla a burn notice, a bullet hole and a one-way ticket back to suburbia. Banished to her childhood stomping grounds with a meddling, shopping-addicted mother intent on grandkids, three overprotective cop brothers, a sexy criminal who can't decide whether he wants to shoot her or date her, and a new boyfriend even her family loves, Kayla may finally get the chance to find out what really matters in life. That is, if living a "normal" life doesn't kill her first.
