Description

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. . . . 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.

Reviews

It Had to Be You isan astonishing read, equally romantic and twisted, deliciously sexy and disturbing! This book answers the question I've beenpondering foryears: what if John Wick was a romcom Eliza Jane Brazier managed to write two characters who are like no one else in a book that is the new blueprint for Enemies to Lovers. I kicked my feet when they kissedand kicked them even more when they tried to kill each other! If youre the kind of reader who enjoys unique romance novels with an edge, a whole lot of unpredictable twists, and the idea of a seasoned assassins traveling across Europe and falling for the person theyre supposed to kill, this is the book for you!A humorously dark, upsettingly sexy, unique love story about the horrors and delights of being seen as who we really arewith lots of swords and plenty of smut!
Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically

"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 badassand decidedly feministEliza 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 racingfor more than one reason.
Halley Sutton, USA Today bestselling author of The Hurricane Blonde
