Love and Murder in the Time of Video Calls

(2027)
A novel by

Don’t believe everything you see online.

When literary agent Nira Kumar’s video call with her author Ivy is abruptly cut off on a scream, Nira is left worried and confused. It gets worse when Ivy doesn’t answer any calls, texts, or messages, and doesn’t post for over 24 hours, an unheard-of streak for the very online author.

Author Owen Bailey didn’t expect an attractive woman knocking at his door, asking where his fiancée is. But the answer to that seemingly straightforward question means revealing secrets that he isn’t eager to admit, starting with the fact that he isn’t really engaged to Ivy.

Nira and Owen travel to Ivy’s home in the Central Coast of California to find the mysterious author. But instead of answers, they’re drawn into a murder investigation that hinges on them discovering who exactly Ivy was, and how much of what they thought they knew about her was lies. They have to avoid their own attraction to one another, uncover enough secrets to fill a bestselling novel, as well as find a dangerous killer, in order to get justice for their complicated friend.

And maybe love, if they’re lucky.
