How Not to Be a Bounty Hunter: A Sapphic Romantic Suspense
Mia thought her first bounty-hunting gig was going great—until she got stuffed into a suitcase.
Maybe not the most promising start, but Mia won’t let anything get in the way of tracking down her fathers. Armed with a fake name, a beat-up van, and a moral compass that’s increasingly off-kilter, she prepares to get her hands dirty.
Her first mark? Lara Milbourne, a runaway drug dealer with a smart mouth, a sharp smile, and a past Mia can’t afford to care about.
She was supposed to turn Lara in. But Mia’s too soft for this job—and no matter how tightly Lara wears her pain like armor, Mia can see she’s coming apart underneath. Soon she’s dragging Lara through the woods, fending off the mob, and falling headfirst into the quiet, aching sadness behind her teeth. The cherry on top? Lara didn’t even steal the damn drugs.
But now the Don has a bone to pick, and they're both in his sights.
Gritty, grounded, and emotionally intimate, this romantic suspense follows two broken women on the run. One trying to outrun her ghosts. The other trying to drag hers back into the light, no matter the cost. Together, they might just collide into something else.

4/5 good book
Good book enjoyed the plot & character development all the decisions the characters make were sympathetic & in character. I do wish there were content warnings either at the start of the book or in the description of the book. I came in expecting a rom-com but got something much darker than any book I’ve read to date (if my understanding of some implications were correct).
Overall I would recommend this book because of its compelling characters & tense romance but with the caveat that the two main characters have quite the traumatic backstory which the share with each other & in flashbacks.

Dark and exhilarating
Appears to be first book, and an excellent one at that. Nonstop action, great characters, emotional roller coaster, or was that the action? Really looking forward to their next book(s).
