Resumen del Editor

Two contract killers, each with a hit out on the other, must fight their growing attraction as they face off in an epic game of lust and murder across Western Europe.

When Eva and Jonathan hook up on the sleeper train from Florence to Paris, they think they’ll never see each other again. Which is too bad, because neither has ever felt a spark like this for another person. But love isn’t on the agenda in their line of work.

Six months later, they run into each other in the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. This encounter is not by chance, because Eva has been hired to kill Jonathan. She’s a contract killer, but what she doesn’t know is that he is too.

Their meeting kicks off a high-stakes adventure across Western Europe. There will be tourism. There will be bodies. Eva and Jonathan might even fall for each other.

As the two get closer to completing their assignments, it becomes clear that they are also being hunted—by something even more dangerous than love. . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

“It Had to Be You is an astonishing read, equally romantic and twisted, deliciously sexy and disturbing! This book answers the question I've been pondering for years: what if John Wick was a romcom? Eliza Jane Brazier managed to write two characters who are like no one else in a book that is the new blueprint for Enemies to Lovers. I kicked my feet when they kissed—and kicked them even more when they tried to kill each other! If you’re the kind of reader who enjoys unique romance novels with an edge, a whole lot of unpredictable twists, and the idea of a seasoned assassins traveling across Europe and falling for the person they’re supposed to kill, this is the book for you! A humorously dark, upsettingly sexy, unique love story about the horrors and delights of being seen as who we really are—with lots of swords and plenty of smut!” —Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically

"Twisty-turny, slyly funny, and hot as hell—It Had to Be You by Eliza Jane Brazier had me on the edge of my seat.
