Perfect for you if...

You enjoy romantic thrillers where the person you're attracted to might be dangerous, like the tension in You or Behind Her Eyes.
You're drawn to protagonists who work in high-pressure careers like medicine and have to balance professional ambition with personal life.
You like mysteries that unfold through dating app culture and modern NYC settings rather than traditional detective work.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer cosy mysteries or whodunnits where the answer doesn't hinge on a central romantic relationship.
You want a thriller that focuses primarily on the crime investigation rather than splitting time between romance and suspense.
You're looking for standalone books rather than the start of a series.

About this book

Dr. Kylie Saunders, a true-crime enthusiast, is two years into a demanding medical residency in New York City with little time for dating. She meets Dr. Blake Weathers, a fellow resident and neurosurgeon with charm and good looks, but senses he is hiding something. After Blake sends mixed signals, Kylie ends their relationship and tries meeting people through the Connections app. When a friend and colleague is murdered, Kylie discovers a secret connecting Blake to the crime, deepening her suspicions about him. As she investigates the murder while attempting to rebuild her love life, she realizes the Manhattan dating scene carries unexpected dangers. When police determine the killer used Connections to target the victim, Kylie's investigation uncovers a frightening reality: she may be the next target.
