Slay Bells Ring by Candace Wondrak

Slay bells ring… are you listening?

Holly
When I was ten, my love for Christmas came to a bloody end the night an assassin ruined my life by killing my parents. For thirteen years, his face and those blue eyes burned in my mind.
Now I’m ready to get my slay on. The man who took everything from me won’t live to see another Christmas.
But he’s not who I remember. He’s broken, like me, and something indescribable pulls us together with a force so strong fighting it might be impossible.

Kane
This holiday the sins of the past become too much to bear. After a life full of killing, I’m done, so I rent a cabin in the middle of nowhere to check out of life in peace. The last thing I expect is an intrusion in the form of a woman whose green eyes immediately throw me back in time.
It’s her, the kid from the closet all grown up. She found me, and she’s here for justice–the cold, hard kind. I’m insulted she believes she can take a seasoned killer like me down. If she thinks I’ll be an easy target, she’s wrong.
Turns out, I’m not the only one with a target on my back. Holly comes with hitmen in tow, and suddenly keeping her safe becomes my problem. But the hardest part, I soon find out, is trying to keep my hands off her.
