Her father kept the books for a crime family. Now he's dead, and she has the files.
The voicemail is nine days old. "Whatever you gave them, I need it back by Friday. I like your daughter. Don't make me not like her." This warning hints at imminent danger, creating urgency and tension for the audience.
Nora Vance thought her father was an ordinary accountant. Then a crime family sent flowers to his funeral, and she found the ledger he died protecting-secrets that threaten her trust and sense of security, making her question everything.
Luca Ferrante, the charming heir, is ordered to get close to Nora and retrieve the ledger, but he's unprepared for her sharp mind and growing feelings, which threaten his mission and his heart.
Because the ledger doesn't just incriminate the Ferrante; it proves someone inside the family has been stealing from the family for years, nd that person killed Nora's father to keep it buried. Now Luca's way out and Nora's justice are the same door. They just have to survive walking through it.
A slow-burn, romantic young adult thriller blending crime, mystery, and forbidden love, perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder seeking higher stakes and emotional depth.
