Owls and Other Assassins - Paperback

by Megan Moores (Author)

A steamy and suspenseful contemporary romance, set in the forests of Sweden.

Gemma Lane is a freelance writer, the caretaker of one house plant, and is definitely not looking for love. Her life is predictable, contained, and under control. When Gemma lands a last-minute assignment to interview Swedish heartthrob Jonas Hellgren, a movie star she's admired for decades, she knows she must take a leap of faith into the unknown.

Jonas Hellgren, known for his sex appeal, reclusive ways, and aversion to speaking with the press, doesn't want to be interviewed. He hasn't felt like speaking to anyone since the death of his wife eight years ago. He especially doesn't want to share his life story with an unknown American writer, even if she does have hair the color of an Autumn sunset and a smile that threatens to thaw his frozen heart. Jonas knows he's required to complete the interview, but he doesn't have to be nice about it.

When Gemma and Jonas find themselves stranded in the Swedish wilderness, they must contend with killer owls, a mysterious stalker, and with the walls they've built from grief and loss. Can they take a chance on each other to find their way out of the dark forest . . . and into love?
