Perfect for you if...

You love enemies-to-lovers where the chemistry is genuinely dangerous and the banter cuts both ways.
You want a murder mystery woven through romance rather than tacked on as window dressing.
You appreciate flawed characters who don't apologise for their darkness, just own it.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your protagonist to be entirely sympathetic or your love interests to be conventionally heroic.
You prefer cosy mysteries or soft-focus small-town settings without genuine threat.
You're looking for a standalone. This is book one of a series.

About this book

Amelia returns home with a new business and renewed confidence, having little tolerance for fragile male egos. Her problem is Michael Bane—her high school crush and the source of her worst humiliation. When a charged encounter and subsequent misunderstanding derail whatever might have started between them, Amelia believes it's over. Then Michael appears at her door, bloody and disoriented. Amelia lies to protect his family, but by morning, the man Michael attacked is dead. The town suspects Michael. To clear his name, Amelia agrees to fake date him—the one person she desperately needs to escape. Finding the real killer becomes their only way out. Helping Michael could cost Amelia everything she has built. Worse, she recognizes something of herself in his darkness. The novel combines small-town setting, dangerous chemistry, and a murder mystery. Winner of the 2025 Independent Publisher Book Award for Romance.
