About this book

Someone just blew up Ella's house, and now a gruff FBI agent is demanding her help to track down her estranged sister—who may or may not be guilty. When Ella realizes that the clues leading to her sister are actually breadcrumbs from a childhood game Mal's been sending her for years, she becomes the investigation's secret weapon, tagging along as the team chases memories across the country. As attempts on Ella's life intensify, she discovers that the prickly Agent Donnelly isn't the insensitive jerk she thought—he's a wounded soul who understands her in ways she didn't expect, and suddenly the thought of him walking away when the case closes feels unbearable. Racing against the clock to uncover the truth before another attack, Ella must confront not just a dangerous mystery, but the feelings she can no longer deny.

“Create a playlist called The Breadcrumb Game. Slow-burn tension with indie and alternative rock—think Phoebe Bridgers meets The National. Layer in folk introspection, moody electronic undertones, and songs about guarded hearts breaking open. Atmospheric yet grounded. Perfect for forced proximity that sparks chemistry amid danger and mystery.”
