The Ass Assassin Game

A whispered conversation at the company's Halloween party changes everything. Prank the bullies. Don't get caught. Win the game. By day, Ellis Kaine navigates office tyrants, lunch thieves, and workplace drama. As a human resources director thrown in at the deep end, she's learned to avoid the rocks. By night, she's a thriller writer whose imagination has a bad habit of turning everyday oddities into elaborate conspiracies. So when she overhears scared players talking in hushed tones about a deadly game, her novelist's mind skips over "office gossip" and lands on "workplace murder." Then her HR brain takes over. She's doing what she always does-making up stories. Then, after the party, someone runs her off the road and flees the scene. Her abrasive new CEO, Hunter Garland, seems determined to make everyone's life miserable. Detective Garrett Pike, who is investigating her hit-and-run, offers Ellis something she's never had-someone who believes her. And a mysterious hooded man keeps appearing just often enough to save her life...or ruin it. As Ellis digs deeper, she realizes the game isn't about embarrassing workplace bullies anymore. Someone has started crossing names off the list. In The Ass Assassin Game, losing doesn't cost your job. It costs your life. And Ellis's name is on the hit list.
