I’m pleased to announce the launch of fellow Sourcebooks
Casablanca Author Kris DeLake’s new
science fiction romance novel, Assassins in Love—in stores this week! Congratulations, Kris!
I’ll let you all in on a little secret… you’ve met Kris
DeLake before :) It’s one of the pen names of Kristine Grayson, who has visited
the Casa Authors before, promoting her updated fairy tale series!
Assassins in Love tells the tale of two
brilliant assassins in a fascinating futuristic world, who need each other to
finish one more job before calling it quits in the highly respected killing
business. But it’s more of a challenge than either expected!
The hero, Misha is a part of the
Assassins Guild, an organization with many rules to adhere to during missions.
Rikki, the feisty heroine, never wanted to join an organization that could
limit her capabilities on a job. A series of mishaps plagues their every move,
and if it’s not Misha helping Rikki with a bungled getaway, then it’s Rikki
helping Misha to hide some damning evidence. They can’t seem to get anything
right… except for the way they feel about each other. Misha and Rikki also have
secrets in their past that will change everything, and could jeopardize
completing their final missions. Will they be able to overcome seemingly
impossible odds—and impossibly hot chemistry—before it’s too late?
It reminds me a little bit of Mr. & Mrs. Smith… in Space! The
advanced praise is great, and I for one, can’t wait to see where Kris takes
this new fantastic series:
“Set in a universe where murder can be legal, this is an exciting adventure with a hot romance
between two fascinating characters. Their profession and the fact that no
apologies are made for it make for an intriguing story. One hopes there will be
a second story featuring the heroine’s friend.”
—RT Book Reviews, 4 ½ Stars
“DeLake takes
readers on a fast ride with this passionate futuristic tale, the first in a
series... Makes for a compelling, hot,
and believable tale.” —Publishers Weekly

hardened criminals. Hates organizations. Always does it her way.
Love becomes a
matter of life and death…
Misha's mission is to get Rikki to join the guild or give

Hi, everyone!
ReplyDeleteKris DeLake here. I'm very excited to have "Assassins in Love" on the shelves. I have wanted to write a book like this for years. I finally got the courage up to write it.
Assassins blends all my favorite genres--romance, space opera, suspense--and puts them in a fast-moving package.
I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it!
All the best,
Kris DeLake
Sounds like fun to me! Congrats on the launch!
ReplyDeletedynaA Yay! I believe this is the Whoosh book? I can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Assassins in Love. I read the teaser Kris posted and it grabbed me from the first line.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick my favorite science fiction movies and books. Both Spaceballs and Serenity have survived several DVD purgings and remain in our collection. I have a soft spot for Star Wars novelizations featuring Luke, Leia and Han. An Acciental Goddess by Linnea Sinclair is also a fave. I have a feeling, based on the 1st chapter, that Assassins in Love will probably be on my keeper shelf as well.
