A crime-mystery lover Rhett Carver only wants two things in his life: first, to be taken seriously as a young detective, and second, to get rid of his never-ending bad luck that always gets in the way of reaching the first thing. Those goals bring him to cross fate with an irritating genius girl, Avery, through an unfortunate event that forces them to work together -- not once, not twice, but every possible case that happens around them. As the unlikely duo trying to make the partnership works, Rhett realizes that the biggest mystery he can ever encounter isn't lurking out there. It's right in front of him, in the form of Avery Kane. Now, Rhett wants another thing: to figure out what is actually happening with her, even if it means putting both of them in greater danger than they already were. Copyright © 2015 by Widya Nurul
