Glittering Little Guillotine (Holiday Quick Kills Book 16)

Most people spend Bastille Day watching fireworks over the harbour—I’ll be spending mine making sure a billionaire’s reign of terror comes to an abrupt end.

St Barths is glittering with impossible blue water, floating palaces, and the kind of wealth that makes the rest of the world feel like a myth. While the elite toast to liberty and excess aboard Nathan Mercer’s yacht, Mercer sits above it all—destroying lives, crushing dissent, and treating his staff like disposable machines.

To the world, he’s untouchable.
To Jane, it’s a ledger that needs balancing.

The job should be simple: infiltrate an invitation-only Bastille Day party, get close to the target, and show him exactly what real power looks like. But when Mercer’s yacht becomes a playground for international operatives with their own hidden agendas, my clean kill turns into a tactical nightmare.

Good.

Because I’m not just here for a quick kill. I’m here to remind a man who thinks he’s a god that he’s only human.

Glittering Little Guillotine is a lethal assassin thriller set against the opulence of a St Barths Bastille Day—where paradise is just a front, secrets are buried beneath the surface, and sometimes the only way to topple a throne…

…is to bring down the blade.

Marin is back with another job from Jane. She has a Russian billionaire in her sights, but a familiar face from her past shows up to add even more excitement to her adventure.

Yet another amazing entry in the holiday quick kills series. Marin is easily one of my favorite assassins! Loved this!
