Inhaltsangabe

She devours romance novels. Now she's living one—with a killer on her trail.

Roni Vales has her life exactly where she wants it: a window seat at Kaffi Fikka, a stack of books from the Arcana Cabana, and absolutely zero drama. Skalanes—with its Nordic-tinged coffee shops, tight-knit reading community, and a beloved bookstore at the heart of it all—is exactly the kind of city where nothing dangerous is supposed to happen.

Then she stumbles across a body.

Detective Bjorn "Bear" Thorn has been tracking a killer whose crimes read like something out of fiction—victims drained of blood, novels scattered at every scene. The last thing Bear needs is a witness who makes him forget his professionalism. But from the moment he spotted Roni across the Arcana Cabana, composure has felt like a distant memory.

Now Roni is his witness. He's her protector. Neither of them should be falling for the other. But danger has a way of stripping pretense—and in the shadow of a killer who seems to know his fiction from his fact, what starts as a slow burn is about to ignite everything.

Readers are loving:

• Slow burn romance with a devoted detective hero
• Bookish heroine who reads romance novels while falling into one
• Protector/witness dynamic with real tension
• Steamy open-door scenes
• Community ensemble cast you'll want to move in with
• Serial killer suspense with a possible supernatural edge
• Atmospheric Scandinavian-Midwest setting unlike anything on the shelves

Set in Skalanes—a richly imagined Midwest city where Nordic heritage runs deep and a beloved bookstore anchors a community of readers—Blood & Books is atmospheric romantic suspense for readers who love their heroines bookish, their heroes broad-shouldered and all in, and their plots laced with genuine danger.

Perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner, Karen Rose, and Tasha Coryell.

Blood & Books is Book One of the Arcana Cabana Series.

She went away to college and returned home four years later. Thirty years later, she still confides that she has a crush on him. The couple had two children, both grown now. She spent their formative years volunteering and cheering for them in all of their endeavors. Now she enjoys filling her free time with gardening, baking, reading, and walking her dog, Rue. She and her crush enjoy a weekly date night. It was on one of those evenings when she regaled her crush with the plot and themes of the latest book she was reading. He challenged her to write her own story. So she did.
