[Another Murder! Charity Home Employee Found Dead in Nearby Alley…]
In the heart of the capital, Persborough, bodies have been turning up one after another with their skulls bashed in!
The common threads among these cases? A blunt club used as the murder weapon—and a Tarot card, the Wands, left beside each body.
But then, one day, the killer—who had always succeeded—failed?!
“Kaylie! Listen to Mommy! Grab Grandma’s hand—hurry! Don’t look back, just run!”
Kaylie, a psychiatrist and tarot reader, was walking home late from work when she became the next target of a serial killer.
Barely escaping while the killer hesitated, she became the only surviving witness.
After the attack, she is placed under the protection of Dominic, a police sergeant and former soldier…
“Um… Sergeant Montrose. Are you, by any chance, part of a duke’s household?”
“I may be from a ducal family, but I’m just the second son without a title. And as you can see, I’m only a sergeant. Nothing worth cozying up to.”
With a twisted personality, a disinterested attitude, and a mouth that makes you want to flick his forehead…
Despite his handsome, polished exterior, Dominic’s insides seem rotten to the core.
Kaylie couldn’t help but wonder: can I really trust this man with my safety?
But that concern quickly fades.
“Are you… leaving?”
“I’ll stay. Until you fall asleep.”
“Please pretend to be my boyfriend for a while.”
“Gladly. I’d be pretty disappointed if you ended up marrying off to some no-name countryside noble.”
As Dominic keeps her safe through the night and slowly lets down his walls,
Kaylie, too, begins to open her heart…
A mystery-romance between Dominic, the sharp-tongued sergeant with a terrifying mouth,
and Kaylie, the kind-hearted psychiatrist!
