Riley Thorn is barely keeping her life together—divorce, broke, living with eccentric elderly roommates, and haunted by visions she's desperately trying to ignore—when a murder lands on her doorstep and makes her the prime suspect. Enter Nick Santiago, a dangerously charming private investigator who's absolutely not volunteering to help because he's drawn to Riley (he's totally drawn to Riley). As they navigate a killer on the loose, a grudge-holding detective, and a mysterious stranger claiming to unlock Riley's psychic potential, the chemistry between this mismatched pair crackles with humor and heat. It's a delightfully messy blend of murder mystery, paranormal intrigue, and a slow-burn romance between two people who were definitely not supposed to find each other.
