The narrative follows Sloane and Rowan, two rival murderers whose chance encounter ignites an unlikely friendship.

However, as their connection deepens, the very real consequences of their violent lifestyle threaten to consume them, forcing them to determine if they have finally met their match in both love and survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n        \u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0;\"\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrynne Weaver\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eUSA TODAY\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author renowned for her ability to seamlessly merge dark thriller aesthetics with comedic romance.
