Wicked Deception by Deborah Garland

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…
