Dr. Meher Bansal didn't sign up for this. All she wanted was to help her patients, not end up in the middle of a murder investigation. But when her patient's death puts her on a collision course with ACP Aryan Mathur—her childhood rival and certified pain in the neck—things get messy.

He's stubborn, she's sarcastic, and they both think they're the smartest person in the room. Unfortunately, there's a killer out there who's actually smarter. As bodies pile up and the case grows darker, Meher and Aryan must team up to untangle a chilling pattern— resisting the urge to throttle each other. 

 With Meher becoming the killer's next target, their battle of wits turns into a fight for survival.Throw in a six-year-old determined to play cupid, a clumsy intern, a best friend who is always hungry and a killer who is one step ahead. You've got the perfect recipe for disaster. 

 With every clue bringing them closer to the killer—and to death, will they outsmart a monster who's been perfecting his craft for years? Or will they end up as the next pieces in his deadly game? 

 Murder. Mayhem. Matchmaking— What could possibly go wrong?

I am not a professional writer, so there could be factual errors at places or even creative liberties taken to suit the story. Constructive criticism is always welcome, and I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to comment or vote!

Also, I'm a student who is neck-deep in stress and occasionally feels like throwing herself off a cliff—so updates might be late. Please be patient with me. Trust me, though—you'll want to give this book a try!

Thank you!
