Some slight water damage on first few pages

From Lucy Score comes a fun, fast-paced romantic suspense packed with humour, mystery, and sizzling chemistry.

Riley Thorn has enough going on—her life is chaotic, her living situation is less than ideal, and her quirky neighbours are a constant source of drama. The last thing she needs is to get involved in anything suspicious.

But when she becomes convinced that something is seriously wrong next door—like, dead body wrong—she finds herself tangled up in a mystery she can’t ignore.

Enter a gruff, no-nonsense private investigator who’s determined to keep things under control… and preferably keep Riley out of trouble. Unfortunately, Riley has other plans.

As the investigation heats up, so does the tension between them. Between danger, chaos, and plenty of banter, they’re drawn into a partnership neither of them expected—and a connection that’s impossible to deny.

With laugh-out-loud moments, quirky characters, and a touch of danger, this story delivers the perfect mix of romance and mystery.
