A Most Dangerous Profession (Volume 3) Hawkins, Karen

Robert Hurst made his fortune as a paid killer. Now he wants out — but his final job goes sideways when he's tasked with retrieving a stolen artifact from Moira MacLean, a sharp-tongued widow with secrets of her own. She needs the relic to save her family. He needs it to buy his freedom. Neither is willing to surrender. What starts as a battle of wills ignites into something far more dangerous: desire that neither can afford and trust that could get them both killed. Karen Hawkins delivers Regency romance with gunpowder and wit — passion, banter, and genuine stakes. If you like your historical romance with backbone and your heroines armed with more than fainting couches, this is your book.
