Description

Welcome to Cape Carnage—a picturesque seaside town filled with colorful houses, quirky shops… and an unusually high body count.

Harper Starling is determined to protect her peaceful town at any cost. A gifted gardener with a sharp mind and even sharper instincts, she’s built a quiet life caring for her mentor and tending to her award-winning flowerbeds.

Those flowerbeds just happen to hide a few secrets.

Because troublesome tourists in Cape Carnage don’t always leave town—they simply become fertilizer.

Then Nolan Rhodes arrives.

Charming, dangerously handsome, and terrifyingly skilled with a blade, Nolan isn’t visiting for vacation. He’s hunting. Every year on the anniversary of the hit-and-run accident that destroyed his life, he hunts down someone responsible.And this year’s final target?

Harper Starling.

But Harper isn’t the monster Nolan expected—and she’s far from defenseless. When a true crime investigator shows up searching for a long-lost serial killer, Harper and Nolan form an uneasy alliance to protect their secrets.

Their partnership quickly becomes something far more dangerous.

Because hatred turns into fascination, fascination turns into obsession, and in Cape Carnage, love can be just as deadly as revenge.
