Summary: Oh, FFS. Apparently we’re doing this again because nobody wants to give up this life. Not Ricardo, who’s bored out of his skull because he hates being retired. Not August, who won’t stand for anyone but his husband outranking him on RateYourHit. Not the authors, who can’t resist another round of explosions and shenanigans with our favorite hitmen. So… here we go again. After witnessing—but not participating in—an ill-fated art heist, August and Ricardo are restless, itching for another taste of the chaotic life they once knew. When an opportunity presents itself, they take the gig. It’s just one hit for old time’s sake, and the job itself is pretty straightforward. Why not? But of course it doesn’t take long for things to go sideways. Now instead of just coming out of retirement for funsies, they’re in way over their heads. And this time, they might not be able to get out alive. Business vs. Pleasure is just further proof that we jinxed ourselves when we called Hitman vs. Hitman a standalone, and that we have absolutely zero willpower when it comes to August and Ricardo. Is it the final installment? Like for real this time? We have no idea.

Summary: Obsessive Love / Cat and Mouse / Mind Games / Who's Really the Stalker? / Sapphic Awakening / Morally Grey FMC / Snarky Narrator (obviously) / Tease and Denial / First Person POV Hi. My name is Lisa Salt. I'm a college freshman with exactly one friend, most days. I was chasing my mother's dream of going into medicine, maintaining the empty social life she always envisioned for me. It was a calm, irrelevant existence, and I miss every second of it. Because when Sofia Rossi looked at me, my world fractured. It was just a look. One look from the most untouchable girl on campus, and I lost every boundary I had. In all fairness, most of this is probably my fault—but I barely tried to stalk her. I might have misread some signals when I ended up inside her house without her knowing. It was a matter of not being very experienced in dealing with… what’s it called? Ah, yeah. Other people. I’ve contracted a rather pathological obsession that I'm not entirely sure is legal. And somewhere along the way, I stopped being the only one having it. Have you ever craved someone so much you'd do anything to see her every day? Ever been so intoxicated by her that you'd sacrifice your own sanity? I did. And I don’t intend to stop.
