In this new romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Letizia Lorini, a crime podcast host must solve a chilling serial killer case while navigating an unexpected romance with her brooding, handsome roommate.

Scarlett Adaway has made a career out of dreaming up shocking fictional crime stories on her podcast—but even she’s horrified with her network threatens to shut down her show. Even worse, she’s been assigned to some weekly romance nonsense instead. Though she’s anything but a hopeless romantic, she agrees to take on a new role on one condition: she must keep her crime show alive too.

When the fictional murders she covers on her program start occurring in real life, having twice the amount of work is the least of her problems. And her mysterious roommate must be involved. Ash leaves the house at ungodly hours of the night, comes back in disheveled clothes, and is awfully interested in these cryptic crimes.

Unfortunately, he’s also unbelievably handsome, and all too similar to the broody but soft heroes she keeps reading about for her new show. Scarlett starts seeing romance everywhere, and it’s harder and harder for her to picture Ash as a deranged serial killer instead of her potential happily ever after. As the two team up to work the case together, the growing attraction between them becomes impossible to bury. And they might not get away with romance.
