Agnes and the Hitman Jennifer Crusie

Publisher Marketing: Take one food writer named Cranky Agnes, add a hitman named Shane, mix them together with a Southern mob wedding, a missing necklace, two annoyed flamingos, and a dog named Rhett, and you ve got a recipe for a sexy, hilarious novel about the disastrous side of true love.... Agnes Crandall s life goes awry when a dognapper invades her kitchen one night, seriously hampering her attempts to put on a wedding that she s staked her entire net worth on. Then a hero climbs through her bedroom window. His name is Shane no last name, just Shane and he has his own problems: He s got a big hit scheduled, a rival trying to take him out, and an ex-mobster uncle asking him to protect some little kid named Agnes. When he finds out that Agnes isn t so little, that his uncle has forgotten to mention a missing five million bucks he might have lost in Agnes s house, and that his last hit was a miss, Shane s life isn t looking so good, either. Then a bunch of lowlifes come looking for the money, a string of hitmen show up for Agnes, and some wedding guests gather with the intent to throw more than rice. Agnes and Shane have their hands full with greed, florists, treachery, flamingos, mayhem, mothers of the bride, and most dangerous of all each other."
