Bloodier Than Fiction

From 3x USA Today bestselling author Harper Lin Joshua hires staff for the bustling bookshop cafe in charming Fair Haven. A reluctant and shy Maggie soon warms up to the new barista Babs and stock boy Casper. When Maggie notices some older boys taunting Casper after work, she helps him escape. But the next day, one of the bullies is found dead in the park with his throat slashed.

Can quiet, secretive Casper really be a killer? Maggie butts into policeman Gary's investigation to find out. She wonders if she's developing feelings for Gary. Wasn't Joshua her crush? Either way, it isn't a good idea for her to get involved with either of them. One is her boss, and the other is an old high school friend.

But romance doesn't stay on Maggie's mind for long when she becomes the target of a murderer.
