To unearth the truth, Ike will have to cooperate with her moronic partner, Gary Sands, 13th Baron of Nettlehole and founder of LiteraTours. When they don't succeed in stopping the killer, she realises she'll have to take the plunge and draw on some rather unusual skills her family has been hiding from the world . . .

"Love isn't a game. You can't just waltz back into someone's life after breaking their heart and expect them to love you back. You can't play with someone's feelings, say three cheesy lines and expect them to forgive you for years worth of pain. Saying that you love them isn't enough." "Then what's enough? What do I have to do to get you back? I need you, Nazia. I really do." ~ Years ago, Nazia had her heart broken by the man she loved most. She switched her life around from that moment onwards. Her cherry chapstick became a vivd red, her sweet personality hidden by sarcasm and she switched out her cheerful closet for a more goth theme. On top of all that, she met Kabir. Comparing Kabir to Abeer was like comparing sweets to poison. Kabir was amazing with his sweet jokes, cheesy pick up lines and lazy personality. Her fiancé has made her fall heads over heels for him, helping her out of the sadness and aloofness that she once had. But now, her happiness is slowly breaking down as Abeer comes back to her life. He's determined to call Nazia his again - and he'll stop at no lengths to do it. In the war of hearts, lust and love, who will win?
