The #1 New York Times bestselling steamy finale to the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling Ruinous Love Trilogy—a friends-with-benefits dark romantic comedy packed with murder, mayhem, and spice. And a raccoon named Barbara.

Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart. But who cares about that guy. He doesn’t give me snacks and he keeps saying I’m rabid.

It’s a simple life for Dr. Kane: head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. And worst of all: No raccoons. Fionn wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston. He keeps trying to ban me from the medication cupboard. Who doesn’t want to see a raccoon living their best life? It’s sad. I’d feel sorry for him if he didn’t keep locking up his trail mix.

But then the real circus finds him.

Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she’s not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with an injured leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the racoonless town doctor who keeps telling her I’m a “trash panda” who “harbors deadly pathogens,” whatever the hell that means. That works out pretty well for me though. Rose feeds me churros.

The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together.

. . . And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your raccoons are to catch up.
