New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Ivy returns to Pike, Wisconsin, in her electrifying new romantic thriller for fans of Allison Brennan, Lisa Jackson, and Karen Rose.

An online crime-solving group is just the kind of adventure Bailey Evans needs. She loves her nursing career and small-town life, but her days are predictable.
