The Housewife Assassin's Handbook by Josie Brown

The Housewife Assassin's Handbook by Josie Brown

Every desperate housewife wants an alias. Donna Stone has one . and it happens to be government-sanctioned. But Donna earned it the hard way. Her husband was killed the day she delivered their third child. To avenge her husband's murder, Donna leads a secret life: as an assassin. But espionage makes for strange bedfellows, and brings new meaning to that old adage, Honey, I'm home.
