When the Irish assassin falls for his neurodivergent girl next door, who keeps emotional support plants...

I’m the reaper my enemies never see coming.

Then I go home to an empty flat where the silence has turned deafening.

That changes when my beautiful, neurodivergent neighbor, who’s decided I’m her boyfriend, starts breaking into my home.

And leaving me plants.

It’s harmless. She’s harmless.

Until the night she’s in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Fallon Nova should’ve run when she saw me kill a man.

Instead, she stayed and patched me up.

Now she’s a witness.

And witnesses don’t live long in my world.

When all she wants is a date for the holidays in exchange for her silence, I tell myself I can fake it.

But pretending ends the second she kisses me and makes me want things I can’t have.

I want her. All of her in ways that have me in a chokehold.

She might have fallen first, but I fall harder.

And when someone from her past tries to take her away from me, everyone will see what kind of monster loving Fallon has turned me into...

Wicked Deception is the final book in the Quinlan Empire series and can be listened to as a STANDALONE.

Finally we have the irish assassin Rhys story and it doesn't disappoint! Rhys has known a lot of death and solitude, he got use to it but when his beautiful and quirky neighbour Fallon suddenly starts leaving him plants inside his apartment, and calling him her boyfriend he finds it harmless and even more alarmingly he is drawn to her, until she witnesses him end a life and instead of running she continues as if nothing happened, when Rhys asks what she wants in exchange for silence, she doesnt pass up the opportunity to have him as part of her highly organised holiday events including Christmas with her father. Witnesses dont live, its a rule he lives by but he cant end Fallon so he agrees to her request, not knowing how close it will bring them together for real or that her past isnt as simple and its back. Fallon is amazing for what she went through and her ways of coping with life with her plants (even Basil) and how Rhys is there and knows her more than anyone ever could to be there for her and ground her is just amazing, Deborah has done an incredible job and truly given Fallon and Rhys characteristics and a story to be proud of. What a way to end the series and start another!

Audio- Narrated in duet by Allyson Voller & Aaron Shedlock, they bring the story and characters to life with vivid details, depth of tones and emotions that have you feeling like yuor right there in the room watching the scenes play out. these two played Fallon and Rhys to perfection!
