Shane and Phoebe Versus The Assassins
(2026)(The third book in the Organization series)
A novel by Bob Mayer
Recruit them or end them. Those are the only two options. Nobody mentioned the third.
Shane married Agnes and meant to stay retired. Eleven days into the marriage, the Cellar drags him back for one last impossible job and pairs him with Phoebe — younger, sharper, sword hidden on her back, mouth that never quiets, and something behind the banter she isn't talking about. The pain of personal betrayal.
Eight assassins survived the end of Fromm's Assassin Guild. All eight are poisoned, and the leash is chemical: no antidote, no future. The Cellar holds the antidote. Shane and Phoebe carry it from door to door, and at each one they decide together — a life on a leash, or no life at all.
But someone else is running the same list with a better pitch and a head start. He doesn't ask anyone to kneel. He just offers, gives, and waves — and lets the next refill do the work a gun used to do.
The deepest collar is the one you can't feel.
A novella set in the world of Agnes and the Hitman.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
