Author's Description

Alex Davis had barely gotten her feet wet as an accountant in New York City when a travel mixup landed her in the middle of a murder. Her life takes an unexpected turn as she plays detective, as well as accountant, with sexy millionaire, Kent Abrams. But the more she digs, the more skeletons she finds lurking in the shadows. Can she unravel the mystery before her own life unravels before her eyes?

Why I Chose it

This starts with a meet-cute and it's such compelling writing (the main character has a job! that she's good at!) that I was three episodes in without a body dropping and hadn't even noticed. (The murder happens in episode four.) If you had asked me if it was possible to wait four episodes to get to the murder, I would have said no, but this story proves you can do anything if you can get away with it. And it does!

[Story complete at 23 episodes.]

Who Might Like This

Fans of murder mysteries starring characters with amazing chemistry will enjoy this!

Unrelated Griping

Yep, the "Completed" carousel is still the same.

In other stuff: Vella recommends having just an image with no text, which can be an issue for people who already have a full cover done. But I ran into one today that had such terrible typography that I can't believe a professional was involved.

Pro tip: If you like the upper case "L" so much that you just have to use it in your title, just change your title so one of the words starts with L. Don't use the big showy "L" in the middle of the word among lower case letters (twice!). Trust me. Please. This was a source of much amusement.
