Tourist Season (Pre-order September 23, 2025)

Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver (Pre-order September 23, 2025) 

🌊 Welcome to Cape Carnage: Visit Once, Stay Forever. 🌊

Behind the pastel houses, cozy shops, and postcard-worthy boardwalk, Cape Carnage hides a far darker truth. Tourists come for the seaside charm—but sometimes, they never leave.

Harper Starling is the town’s fiercest protector. With a green thumb and a ruthless streak, she tends her beloved gardens and keeps Cape Carnage beautiful…even if it means feeding her flowerbeds with fertilizer no one dares ask about. For Harper, keeping her home safe—especially for her aging mentor—is worth any cost.

Enter Nolan Rhodes: devastatingly handsome, infuriatingly charming, and a tourist with secrets darker than the ocean depths. Nolan isn’t here for sun and salt air. Every year on the anniversary of the accident that shattered his life, he hunts—and kills. This time, his path leads straight to Harper Starling. But Harper isn’t the villain he imagined, and crossing blades with her ignites a dangerous attraction neither of them expected.

When an overeager true-crime podcaster stumbles into town chasing rumors of a long-buried serial killer, Harper and Nolan strike a perilous truce. She’ll keep his secrets if he helps her protect Cape Carnage. But what begins as reluctant cooperation soon turns into obsession—an intoxicating, slow-burn battle between two predators circling each other in a dance of blood, secrets, and desire.

Tourist Season is a darkly funny, razor-sharp enemies-to-lovers romance where danger and longing bloom side by side, and love just might be the deadliest weapon of all.
