So many men….so little help. Maladroit hitwoman Maggie Lee has never been one to ask for help. But now she’s found out that her niece, Katie, will soon be discharged from the hospital - making Maggie her guardian not just in name - and her semi-psychic friend Armani Vasquez has been kidnapped. Suddenly Maggie could really use some help. While her crazy, but lovable, aunts are ready to help out with Katie, none of the men in her life are willing (or able) to lend a hand to save Armani. With both cops and bad guys telling her not to go after Armani alone, she knows the smart thing to do would be to listen to them. But Maggie’s not the type to abandon those she loves. Even with Patrick, Maggie's murder-mentor and almost-lover, and her old friend Zeke out of the picture, Maggie’s not desperate enough to bring herself to involve crime reporter Jack Stern in her quest. Armed with only Armani’s cryptic clues, and assisted by her snarky lizard, her dumb, but extremely loyal dog, and a one-eyed cat, Maggie decides to take on whoever's taken Armani. Will the lack of human help prove to be her undoing? Or will a special guy come through for her in the end?

Maggie Lee is not your average hitwoman. For one thing, she's never killed anyone. For another, after hitting her head in the car accident that killed her sister, her new best friend is a talking lizard—a picky eater, obsessed with Wheel of Fortune, that only Maggie can hear. Maggie, who can barely take care of herself, is desperate to help her injured and orphaned niece get the best medical care possible, so she reluctantly accepts a mobster's lucrative job offer: major cash to kill his monstrous son-in-law. Paired with Patrick Mulligan, a charming murder mentor (who happens to moonlight as a police detective), Maggie stumbles down her new career path, contending with self-doubt, three meddling aunts, a semi-psychic friend predicting her doom, and a day job she hates. Oh, and let's not forget about Paul Kowalski, the sexy beat cop who could throw her ass in jail if he finds out what she's up to. Training has never been so complicated! And, this time, Maggie has to get the job done. Because if she doesn't . . . she's the mob's next target.

Maggie Lee is stressed as she plans a hit ordered by the mob boss while simultaneously coordinating a Going Away party for her brother. Things only get worse when the body of a kid she went to high school with is found and her old friend Zeke becomes the main suspect in a murder investigation. Meanwhile, a series of unexpected reunions knocks Maggie off her game and she makes some dangerous mistakes. If she’s not careful, she could be the one who ends up going away…for murder.

A romantic room, gourmet meals, free booze, massages…that’s what Maggie is promised when she’s sent away on a pet-friendly romantic getaway. Crazy fellow guests, a missing couple, a human skull, and someone trying to kill her is what she ends up getting. With the help of the core members of her menagerie and a new furry friend, Maggie tries to figure out what’s going on while staying alive and how to salvage her romantic weekend. But a killer has other plans…

You know things are out of hand in Maggie Lee’s world when the least of her problems is tripping over a body. Her family has lost their home. Her friend, Armani, has lost her psychic mojo. And Maggie’s in danger of losing custody of her niece. Making matters even worse is she can't refuse the latest job from her mobster boss. Not to mention she must team up with her murder mentor, Patrick Mulligan, and that's….complicated. Innocents are at risk, lives are in danger, and a family secret could change everything.

Why is it that Maggie’s legit jobs are just as crazy as her illegal gigs? When Griswald asks for Maggie's help to investigate a burglary, she jumps at the chance to do something that won’t involve breaking any laws (spoiler alert: laws are broken). When Griswald is incapacitated it’s up to Maggie to figure out who stole the loot and retrieve it so that they can claim the finder’s fee. There’s just three problems: 1) Someone else is working the case and they are ruthless. 2) She's in danger of being caught breaking a law or two. 3) Her family. Can Maggie solve the case and collect the reward? Or will egg hunting make her life go splat?

Not paying attention can get you killed. As an assassin, albeit a part-time, inept one, Maggie Lee should know that. But she got distracted. Easy enough to do when you have a large dysfunctional family, a menagerie of talking pets, and more than one boss. One distraction has resulted in her agreeing to participate in a fundraiser spearheaded by her Aunt Loretta. Now Miserable Maggie is about to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Another could land her in some very hot water. With all these distractions she’s stretched thin and itchy (sooo itchy!). If she isn’t careful, she could end up dead…but hey, at least she wouldn’t have to go on the charity date.
