Noel "Ice" Cavanaugh's method is foolproof. Get in, do the job, get out, melt away without a trace. Neat. Tidy. No mistakes.
This time, though, something isn't right. Two somethings. First, a random attack that feels not-so-random. Then he discovers a baby on his doorstep with a note claiming it's his. Unfortunately, the sexy neighbor who found the boy first has too many questions in her eyes to ignore.
When her handsome, mysterious neighbor suddenly asks her out on a date, Adeline Rose has suspicions he's fishing for help with his bundle of...joy? By the date's end, she's convinced Noel's just as distant as he seems--until a scorching goodnight kiss burns away all thoughts of being careful.
Now Noel has more than one problem on his hands. Splitting baby duty between three badass assassins, figuring out how to fit in more time with Addy...and keeping both of them safe from the danger that's followed him home.
This book has been previously released.
Warning: Beware a killer with a heart of gold, a baby who needs constant changing, and unrequited love that's actually quite...requited.

The synopsis got me right away on this one. # tough guys trying to raise a baby?? Yep. Sign up up to see that for sure. What the author delivers is a great intro to the series and some pretty action packed suspense at the same time.
Noel and his companions are assassins for hire. You do not want to mess with these guys. Someone leaves a baby on Noel's doorstep-well, with his neighbor and a criptic message about the baby resulting from their time in Mexico. As they work to solve this mystery, Noel and Adeline get closer than he has ever allowed a woman in his life. When they finally knock down all the walls and just let things happen----ssssteam!
Here is my picky pick. And I will preface it with saying my day job is working with young children who are developmentally delayed. The baby is a the catalyst in this story. I couldn't get past the irregularities in not only the expectations for a 4 month old child but also flipping from infant to toddler when describing the child. I found myself going back to the beginning a couple of times to re-read the age of the baby. Other people may read this and think nothing of it. The baby is going to be in EVERY book--right? That's the premise of the story. But to me, the needs of a 4 month old are very different than the needs of a toddler, and I really felt someone should have caught the inconsistencies.
Enough of that---I did enjoy the book and I most eagerly look forward to reading the next two.
