Will she catch feelings ... or catch a killer? True crime podcaster Ella Takeda is a sucker for a good mystery. She has an uncanny knack for pinpointing killers ... until she gets it wrong. Turns out that identifying an innocent man as the Canceled Killer--a serial murderer who targets high-profile fraudsters--is cause for immediate backlash. Now she's returned to her small Midwest town, but the Canceled Killer may not be done with her yet. Ella has a terrible suspicion she's his next target ... and worse, she might be dating him. Could it be Jude, the sexy, cheese-loving nerd her mom is convinced she's going to marry? Or Aaron, the hot Chicago detective who's the walking embodiment of every Swipe Right fantasy? And finally, there's Mateo--a Hollywood stunt double who's got allll the right moves. Trusting guys is hard enough, especially when one wants her dead. Will she be able to unmask the killer before she becomes the next victim?

"Employing stiletto sharp wit and a killer flair for comic timing effectively dispenses the perfect blend of edge-of-your-seat thrills and flirtatious sexual chemistry throughout a knockout plot that comes with more than its share of wickedly clever twists. Fans of both suspense and romance are bound to fall for this book's many charms."
