It Had to Be You

Eliza Jane Brazier

Two contract killers, each with a hit out on the other, must fight their growing attraction as they face off in an epic game of lust and murder across Western Europe.

When Eva and Jonathan hook up on the sleeper train from Florence to Paris, they think they'll never see each other again. Which is too bad, because neither has ever felt a spark like this for another person. But love isn't on the agenda in their line of work.

Six months later, they run into each other in the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. This encounter is not by chance, because Eva has been hired to kill Jonathan. She's a contract killer, but what she doesn't know is that he is too.

Their meeting kicks off a high-stakes adventure across Western Europe. There will be tourism. There will be bodies. Eva and Jonathan might even fall for each other.

As the two get closer to completing their assignments, it becomes clear that they are also being hunted--by something even more dangerous than love. . . .

Praise for this book

"Twisty-turny, slyly funny, and hot as hell--It Had to Be You by Eliza Jane Brazier had me on the edge of my seat. The writing is as sharp as an assassin's blade, the chemistry between the two rival contract killers absolutely explosive. I had no idea what was about to happen next but I knew I was along for the ride!"
--Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

"Seductively tense and scandalously hot! It Had To Be You swept me into a star-crossed, hopelessly romantic game of cat and mouse, and I loved every twisted minute of it."
--Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of Finlay Donovan Is Killing It

"A twenty-first century O. Henry but more badass--and decidedly feminist--Eliza Jane Brazier is bringing her phenomenal talents to romance."
--Elizabeth Everett, author of The Secret Scientists of London series

"With all the sexy romance of Before Sunrise, plus the twisty, cat and mouse fun of Killing Eve, It Had to Be You is the perfect steamy summer thriller. I had so much fun following Eliza Jane Brazier's fun, sexy assassins all over Europe, I never wanted it to end. This book will get your pulse racing--for more than one reason."
--Halley Sutton, USA Today bestselling author of The Hurricane Blonde
