Somebody Worth Killing
Meet Nadia Davis, a doting mom and loving wife who has a big secret: she’s actually an assassin. And she really needs a babysitter who shows up on time.
Nadia Davis is living the dream as a successful working mom with a career she loves, two adorable little girls, and a devoted husband who has no idea that she’s secretly a hired assassin and psychopath who kills certified bad guys. So when Nadia finds out she’s been “mommy tracked” by her assassin’s agency and is no longer getting the bigger, more exciting jobs, she demands an important mark…somebody worth killing.
But it turns out that big kill is the last person she expects—her husband. How is the sweet, kind, teller-of-dad jokes she’s promised her life to an evil villain who needs exterminating? Has their whole life together been a lie? Now Nadia must choose between the two things she loves most in life, the career that keeps her sane or the family she thought she knew.

“Somebody Worth Killing” had my attention from start to finish. Just when I thought I had it all figured out—and felt a flicker of disappointment—the story pivoted and proved me completely wrong. The plot is tightly woven with rich, layered characters, and the suspense builds to twists that truly deliver. Jessica Payne crafts a gripping thriller that will leave you craving more.
