When Frankie Paresky reluctantly joins forces with her longtime friend Simon Hunt to unravel a baffling mystery, she discovers that their easy partnership has a dangerously electric spark. She'd made a vow to herself long ago that Simon was strictly off-limits—but as they work closer together, the line between friendship and something much deeper starts to blur. With witty banter and genuine chemistry crackling between them, this reissued classic proves that sometimes the person you're meant to love has been right beside you all along. It's the perfect blend of intriguing mystery and swoon-worthy romance that'll have you rooting for them every step of the way!
