The Big Fix

The Big Fix by Holly James:

In this fast-paced, romantic adventure that blends screwball comedy with thrilling action, a case of mistaken identity sends a bookish college professor on the run with a dangerously attractive fixer.

Penny Collins, a computer science professor focused on securing tenure, is dragged to an estate sale by her sister. Expecting a quiet afternoon of browsing antiques, she ends up in a heated argument with the very handsome (and very mysterious) Anthony, the late owner’s nephew—just before a dead body falls out of a closet. What follows is nothing Penny ever planned: she's suddenly on the run with Anthony, evading bullets, scaling walls, and accidentally taking down henchmen. It turns out, someone thinks Penny is Anthony's girlfriend—and that she's in possession of something they desperately need. 

Anthony is a fixer with a secretive, high-risk job—and a body that could melt anyone's resolve. After a recent job went horribly wrong, he and Penny find themselves in the crosshairs of a ruthless billionaire and the FBI. Together, they’ll need Penny’s sharp mind and Anthony’s unique skills to survive—and maybe even find time for romance—before Penny can make it back to her university job.
