Thelma and Louise meets The Golden Girls in the laugh-out-loud, relatable read from MILLION COPY bestseller Judy Leigh! Perfect for fans of Dawn French and Caroline James! 🍷✨❤️ Age is just a number.

When octogenarian sisters-in-law Sadie and Bronagh find themselves at the centre of a scandalous (and slightly explosive) bake-off fiasco, there's only one thing to do - steal Sadie's grandson's gleaming red Ferrari and make a run for it. Sadie is the practical one, all cardigans and contingency plans. Bronagh treats rules as loose suggestions - especially if mischief or wine is involved. What begins as a quick getaway across Ireland soon spirals into a wild, cross-country adventure filled with fake identities, unexpected friendships, and more than a few brushes with the law. Sadie and Bronagh may be on the run, but what they find at the journey's end might just be what they were missing all along...

Her writing is amazing. I have read most of her novels and look forward to the next one.' 'I hope you too pick up this heart warming, fun-filled frolicking story of friendship and love. It is well worth a read.' 'As usual, Judy Leigh excelled at imagining her characters, and it was a treat to follow their adventures. Of course, I don't include spoilers, but I can certainly promise a story filled with the very best kind of people, love, and a reminder that age is just a state of mind.'

He's an unhinged enforcer sent to kill her family. She's the rival assassin who shoots him first. Now, he's utterly obsessed and will burn the world for her 🖤🔥⛓️✨ FOR FANS OF SADIE KINCAID, KYLIE KENT AND NICOLE FOX ✨Praise for Zara Cox: ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ 'Wow! The naughtiest book I've read this year, so hot it made ME blush! Zara Cox is a sizzling new voice' Kitty French, USA Today best-selling author ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ 'I love a badass dirty talking mafia man' Reader Review ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ 'The dirty talk was filthy 🥵' Reader Review ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ ' This is what mafia romance is made of' Reader Review Underboss, enforcer, executioner I'm the Enforcer-the last face you see when there's no one left to hear you scream. I finally know who killed my mother, and I'm ready to burn the world to the ground. But as I move to strike, she's already there. Sofiya Mancinelli. Assassin. Enemy. Two steps ahead. And when she puts a gun to my head, all I can think is - she was sent to kill me, but how the hell do I survive long enough to make her mine? Assassin, seductress, enemyI'm the Assassin. My job is simple: stop Rafaele Salvatore from taking revenge. But I've always had a thing for scorching-hot psychos-and the brutal, dirty-talking Enforcer is the most compelling I've ever met. Instead of ending him, I agree to a thirty-day truce. He doesn't know I plan to make him fall for me. Hard. Even if it means he forgets everything he's bled for. A scorching enemies-to-lovers mafia romance with lethal heat, pulse-pounding danger, and a Bonnie & Clyde twist you'll never forget.Tropes:🩸 Enemies to lovers🩸 Captor / captive🩸 Rival families🩸 Intense and dark🩸 Possessive and obsessive MMC🩸 Only one bed🩸 Praise k!nk🩸 Fiery and passionate
