Revenge, suspicion, and a dangerous attraction

In Cleosville, Lily Huxley turns grief over her best friend’s death into a “Karma for Hire” service, taking requests for retribution while searching for the Kodak Killer. Her growing suspicion of Aster Blake complicates that search: he is a crime journalist with secrets of his own, and their mutual surveillance gives way to an uneasy partnership when another victim appears. The setup brings romantic comedy into a murder mystery shaped by revenge, hidden identities, and the risks of getting close to someone who may be a suspect. Late-night stakeouts and danger sit alongside the developing attraction, keeping the central tension personal as well as criminal.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in romantic comedy mixed with a murder mystery.
  • Readers who enjoy stories involving revenge schemes, suspicious love interests, and reluctant partnerships.
  • Readers seeking adult romance with crime and danger in the premise.

Book overview

After Lily Huxley's best friend falls victim to the elusive Kodak Killer, she's convinced cosmic justice has abandoned Cleosville. With a thirst for revenge, she creates a "Karma for Hire" platform where requests for retribution are submitted as easily as ordering takeout.

 

During late-night recon, she meetsAster, a handsome stranger who has her wondering if there's more to life than work, sleep, repeat. But when a body is discovered shortly after, she suspects her new crush is the killer she's been searching for.

 

Aster Blake is a local crime journalist, exposing the city's sins while harboring a secret of his own-one with bleach, body bags, and fake alibis. During a getaway, he's distracted by the curious, beautiful, and highly suspicious Lily. But after realizing he's her latest target, the pair becomes entangled in a dangerous game of mutual stalking until a new victim forces them into an unlikely partnership.

 

But unmasking the Kodak Killer is far from simple, and between near-death experiences and steamy late-night stakeouts, the line between allies and attraction blurs. Lily's supposed to be balancing the cosmic scales, not falling for the man who's a self-proclaimed reaper. As danger lurks closer, one question remains:

 

Will her desire for revenge become her demise, or will karma come for her in a way she never expected?
