The fabulous Oregon coast is a scenic getaway to behold, but for a gay, autistic travel writer and amateur sleuth, there is no such thing as a vacation from murder…

Though sparks flew between travel writer Oliver Popp and extroverted photographer Ricky Warner on their last assignment together, things are different now when they’re teamed up again for a road trip. They promised to keep things low-key and strictly platonic. But that’s a little at odds with Oliver’s new assignment: finding romance on the Oregon coast. The destination is a picturesque inn overlooking the Pacific Ocean. With the crashing waves below, it seems like an ideal spot for dramatic love connections.

Curiously, the other guests at the inn are the extended family of the innkeeper Mary Alice, headed by a fabulously wealthy aunt, with various children, in-laws, husbands and wives, all vying to stay in her good graces…and her will. Then on the first night, after settling into their room, a shocking discovery is made: a dead man is found in their hot tub. It was one of Mary Alice’s tragically unlucky relatives who, from the looks of it, dropped in from the balcony above. The local sheriff thinks it was an accident. Considering the circumstances of this odd family reunion, Oliver and Ricky have serious doubts.

Things start to take a sinister turn when another body turns up. The relaxing getaway between old lovers now becomes a murder investigation. Oliver and Ricky end up playing a game of cat and mouse with the killer. Who’s the next one in line to die? As the suspects pile up, Oliver is certain of only one thing: it’s no mystery that murder is bringing him and Ricky closer together.

Enter to win below. Good luck!
