The Unhoneymooners meets The White Lotus in this Hawaii‑set romantic comedy from Cosmopolitan's Cosmo Reads imprint, where a cynical mystery writer fake‑dates a resort heir for research after her romance‑writing co‑author is left at the altar, only to find herself pulled into an investigation ripped from her own book and a romance she never saw coming.
Eve writes the murders. Harper writes the romance. Together, they're the bestselling duo behind Love, Lies & Alibis. But just weeks before their big‑deal manuscript is due to the publisher, Harper gets left at the altar. And their manuscript falls apart with her.
Eve's solution? Turn Harper's nonrefundable honeymoon into a two‑week Hawaiian writing retreat. One problem: Harper's too heartbroken to write a single swoony word. And Eve—the murder half of the team—doesn't believe in love anyway.
Then a bride goes missing at the resort, and Eve crosses paths with Miles Overton: gorgeous, charming, and annoyingly good at reading her. He's also her only ticket into the couples‑only activities she needs for "research."
So, they strike a deal: fake date their way through paradise. She gets the romance scenes, he gets help finding the missing bride, and they both pretend not to fall for each other.
But when a plot twist straight out of one of Eve's books blows everything up, she'll have to decide: play it safe and walk away or rewrite her ending and bet big on real love.
Murder, margaritas, missing brides, and a love story no one saw coming—except maybe their readers.
