Death Within The Pages

Bestselling mystery-romance author Lila Hart built her career imagining beautiful murders. She never expected someone to bring them to life.

When a woman is discovered dead in a scene recreated from one of Lila’s novels, Detective Logan Reed initially believes the connection may be coincidence. But when another victim is staged using details from an unpublished draft, the truth becomes impossible to ignore.

The killer is not merely reading Lila’s stories. They have access to her private notes, deleted chapters, personal routines—and memories she never knowingly shared.

As New Orleans prepares for the Magnolia Pages Festival, anonymous messages become increasingly intimate. A stolen red notebook appears backstage, opened to a page Lila has never shown anyone. Every person in her inner circle becomes a suspect: her agent, an invasive true-crime podcaster, a possessive former assistant, and even the sister who has been concealing years of obsessive correspondence.

Logan moves Lila into protective custody, but the safe house cannot keep the Storykeeper from reaching her. As attraction grows between Lila and the detective determined to protect her, the killer begins preparing the final scene—one that will force Lila back to the place where her story truly began.

Someone has been reading between the lines.

Now Lila must survive the final chapter.
