About this book

When a jaded contract killer and a sunshine-bright indie singer are forced into a fake marriage to solve a murder, they discover that the real danger might be falling for each other. Lachlan Kane is desperate to escape the underworld, and Lark Montague has secrets worth killing for—but neither of them expected their arrangement to feel this genuine or burn this hot. As they hunt a killer together, the line between their pretend vows and real feelings blurs dangerously, and it becomes clear that something darker than either of them anticipated is closing in. This is a delicious enemies-to-lovers story packed with tension, mystery, and the kind of swoon-worthy banter that makes you believe even the most guarded hearts can find home in each other.

Dark indie rock meets sultry R&B—gritty yet magnetic. Deep vocals, industrial beats, and smoldering tension. Think Phoebe Bridgers meets The Neighbourhood meets BANKS. Dangerous attraction wrapped in shadows and leather. Explicit, intense, unresolved.
