When thirty-something Shelby Phillips returns to her quiet hometown just outside of Asheville, North Carolina, she reluctantly takes over her mother’s Nimble Needle needlepoint shop—and gets entangled in a murder investigation . . .

It’s only temporary. That’s what Shelby Phillips tells herself when she returns to excruciatingly harmless Gwen Lake after her graphic arts career—and the office romance blooming with it—get tossed like rejected design mockups. Her plan is as simple and fool-proof as a tent stitch: manage the family needlepoint shop during her parents’ RV vacation. It’s just a month. It’s not as if they’re retiring . . . right?

When Shelby becomes responsible for hosting a trunk show with local vendors, she’s determined to pull it off. Even if that means dealing with former classmate Kat Katsaros, a rising entrepreneur specializing in needlework scissors. Kat has changed since high school—and she’s angling to take over the Nimble Needle herself. The tension unspools when Shelby makes a terrible discovery on the morning of the event: Kat’s dead body.

Shelby can’t believe the death was an accident. That’s why she’s set on exposing who committed the murder with Kat’s own equipment. She finds help in a new friend, a potential crush, and the surprising support of her sister and the Nimble Needle stitchers. Still, Shelby must move quickly to stop the crafty culprit before her maybe not-so-temporary new life in Gwen Lake comes apart at the seams . . .

Hit & Run by @authorkinsleykincaid

Serial Unaliver, who doesn’t like blood and has a dead best friend!

Are hot dogs sandwiches?

Tropes:

Bounty Hunter x Serial Unaliver
Grumpy x Sunshine
Sarcastic Banter
Dark RomCom
Enemies to lovers
Opposites attract
NYC setting

Blurb:

I fight crime by night and watch cute animal videos by day. Just call me your modern-day superhero. Kidding, but how fun would that be?
My name is Parker Presley, and I am a professional Bounty Hunter for a super-secret government organization called The Blood Sport Agency, in New York City. It’s not as scary as it sounds, as long as your name doesn’t appear on my radar. Because as much as I joke, I can say with absolute confidence, I am very good at what I do.
Only the elite and wealthy of Manhattan have our number. The agency scrutinizes every request. Many get rejected. The process is painstakingly boring until the accepted bounties hit my inbox. That’s when it’s my time to play!
With the help from my team, Tac, Connor, Ophelia, and the Sparrows, we chase and find the bad guys for, at minimum, six-figure rewards. Which I had collected only days before everything flips upside down, figuratively and literally speaking. You’ll see what I mean.

The deliciousness that is my new neighbor reveals himself in the rudest way. He’s horribly infuriating and delightfully distracting, which changes nothing and everything at the same time. I quickly come to learn that the more I can make him tick, the happier I get. Which is fine until his name is the next one in my inbox.

The price is unresistable and Mr. Holden Hammer, it seems like you killed the wrong person from the wrong family, because your serial killer sins are so worthy of my attention. You better watch out, because now I’m coming for you. And once I get you, that’s when the real fun begins.

Don’t worry, my new friends, don’t feel left out, for the right price, I’d chase you too!
