A Twisted Love Story

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The sharpest new voice in psychological suspense returns with an unputdownable new thriller on the deadliest subject of all β€” true love.

Wes and Ivy are madly in love. It's the kind of romance people write stories about. But what kind of story?

Because when it's good, it's very, very good. But when it's bad, it's bad.

Their breakneck cycle of catastrophic vengeful break-ups and head-over-heels reconnections needs to end fast. Because suddenly, Wes and Ivy have a common enemy β€” and she's a detective.

One wrong move will be fatal, so if Wes and Ivy can't stick together, this break-up might just be their last.
