Hug it out

Riordan Darcy has spent the last fourteen years making a name for himself as a notorious hitman. He travels the world, taking out some of the worst people humanity has to offer, leaving his signature on each victim. After a botched job, Riordan becomes increasingly unhappy and withdraws from the world. He decides to exit the life he was forced into so long ago. When his pushy older sister gives him a birthday gift he can't possibly refuse, his plans to leave the criminal life are thrown into disarray, as he is compelled to protect the life of a complete stranger.

When Teddy Harris, a professional "hugger" and TLC provider, is offered a one-month companionship contract, he finds it hard to say no. By day, he is a hugger; by night, a video game critic, driven by the need to make people feel loved and cared for. Upon meeting Riordan Darcy, professional challenges and personal temptations collide, making it almost impossible for him to spend an entire month with the stunning, enigmatic man without falling head over heels in love.

When a mole is discovered in Riordan's organization, suddenly everyone around him is in danger. Time is not on their side, and they realize that answers cannot always be found through hugs when someone is hell-bent on eliminating each and every one of them. Will Riordan and Teddy survive long enough to discover that they have already fallen in love with each other?.
