I thought Rowan was just the quiet bartender who watched me too closely and made me feel things I shouldn’t. Then his past catches up to him, and I’m in for a rude awakening. One minute I’m living my normal life, and the next, I’m on a trip across the country with a man trained to kill without hesitation. A retired assassin. Possessive, violent, and deadly enough to leave a trail of bodies behind us. Every mile between us and the men hunting him drags me deeper into Rowan’s terrifying world, where violence means survival and bloodshed comes way too easy. I keep looking for redeeming qualities in him but quickly realize there are none, and there’s no escaping a man like Rowan Teller. Not even if I wanted to. © 2026 by Michelle Heard, all rights reserved.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781662545405","publication_date":"20261103","publisher":"Amazon Publishing","slug":"my-neighbor-the-assassin","subtitle":"","title":"My Neighbor, the Assassin"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"FIC027560","confidence_band":"unbanded","label":"Dark Romance","score":0.79,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027620","confidence_band":"unbanded","label":"Mafia Romance","score":0.72,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027110","confidence_band":"unbanded","label":"Romantic Suspense","score":0.67,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"FIC027560","confidence_band":"unbanded","label":"Dark Romance","score":0.79,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027620","confidence_band":"unbanded","label":"Mafia Romance","score":0.72,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027110","confidence_band":"unbanded","label":"Romantic Suspense","score":0.67,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"FIC027340","confidence_band":"high","label":"Billionaire Romance","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027560","confidence_band":"high","label":"Dark Romance","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027620","confidence_band":"high","label":"Mafia Romance","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Dark Romance","score":0.79,"slug":"dark-romance"},{"label":"Mafia Romance","score":0.72,"slug":"mafia-romance"},{"label":"Romantic Suspense","score":0.67,"slug":"romantic-suspense"}],"reader_fit":["Readers drawn to romance with a lethal, morally troubling love interest","Good for readers interested in a cross-country story involving a retired assassin"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["C.R.
