From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes a wickedly delicious new series where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense— and where falling in love can be a killer.
Welcome to Cape Carnage! Visit Once, Stay Forever.
You can hide in the farthest reaches of the deepest hell, and I will still drag you out. Even the devil can’ t save you from me.
Cape Carnage is a seaside town of colorful houses, quirky shops, and an unusually high body count. With tourists comes trouble, and Harper Starling won’ t let anyone ruin her picture-perfect home. A skilled gardener with killer instincts, Harper protects her sanctuary— and her aging mentor with a fading memory— at any cost. Troublesome tourists don’ t check out of Carnage. They compost beneath Harper’ s award-winning flowerbeds.
But Nolan Rhodes isn’ t your average tourist. Devilishly handsome, disarmingly charming, and skilled with a blade, Nolan is relentless in the pursuit of revenge. On every anniversary of the hit-and-run accident that fractured his life, Nolan slays another target. And he’ s saved the best for last: the undeniably beautiful Harper Starling. The problem? Harper isn’ t the monster he expected. And she won’ t go down without a fight.
When an amateur true crime investigator comes to Cape Carnage on the trail of a long-lost serial killer, Harper and Nolan strike an uneasy truce. If Nolan helps Harper protect her town, she’ ll keep quiet about his hunting habits . . . for now. But their alliance soon spirals into obsession, one that threatens to shatter every secret in Carnage— including their fragile love.
Tourist Season is a darkly funny, slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romance where destruction and desire are balanced on the edge of a blade— and where love is the most dangerous battleground of all.
