Marie is a genius doctor, used to keeping everything-her work, her emotions, her life-neatly controlled. But when a notorious detective barges into the morgue where she finds her brief moments of peace, everything is thrown into chaos. Julius is charming, arrogant, and far too confident for his own good, and his presence stirs up more than just the dead. He's here to solve a murder, and whether she likes it or not, Marie's expertise will be key.
As the case unfolds, their rivalry intensifies, and an unexpected partnership forms-one built on sharp minds, undeniable chemistry, and a clash of egos. But with every step closer to the truth, Marie starts to realize that the greatest mystery may not be the murder they're solving, but the enigma of the man she can't quite shake from her thoughts.
In this slow-burn, rivals-to-lovers thriller, Marie and Julius will have to confront more than just a killer. They'll face their own fears, secrets, and the growing tension between them that neither can deny. Will they solve the case before they unravel each other?
