Blurb:
After Lily Huxley’s best friend falls victim to the elusive
Kodak Killer, she’s convinced cosmic justice has abandoned Cleosville. With a thirst for
revenge, she creates a “Karma for Hire” platform where requests for retribution are
submitted as easily as ordering takeout.
During late-night recon, she meets Aster, a handsome stranger who has her wondering if
there’s more to life than work, sleep, repeat. But when a body is discovered shortly after, she
suspects her new crush is the killer she’s been searching for.

Aster Blake is a local crime journalist, exposing the city's sins while harboring a secret of his
own—one with bleach, body bags, and fake alibis. During a getaway, he’s distracted by the
curious, beautiful, and highly suspicious Lily. But after realizing he’s her latest target, the pair becomes entangled in a dangerous game of mutual stalking until a new victim forces them
into an unlikely partnership.

But unmasking the Kodak Killer is far from simple, and between near-death experiences and
steamy late-night stakeouts, the line between allies and attraction blurs. Lily’s supposed to
be balancing the cosmic scales, not falling for the man who’s a self-proclaimed reaper.

As danger lurks closer, one question remains:
Will her desire for revenge become her demise, or will karma come for her in a way
she never expected?
