Rhiannon Hunter may have
revolutionized romance in the digital world, but in real life she only
swipes right on her career—and the occasional hookup. The cynical dating
app creator controls her love life with a few key rules:
- Nude pics are by invitation only
- If someone stands you up, block them with extreme prejudice
- Protect your heart
Only
there aren't any rules to govern her attraction to her newest match,

surfaces months later, still big, still beautiful—and in league with a
business rival. He says he won't fumble their second chance, but she's
wary. A temporary physical partnership is one thing, but a merger of
hearts? Surely that’s too high a risk…

In the second book
in the New York Times bestselling mystery series, Veronica Mars is back
with a case that will expose the hidden workings of one of Neptune’s
most murderous locations.
The Neptune Grand has always been
the seaside town’s ritziest hotel, despite the shady dealings and
high-profile scandals that seem to follow its elite guests. When a woman
claims that she was brutally assaulted in one of its rooms and left for
dead by a staff member, the owners know that they have a potential
powder keg on their hands. They turn to Veronica to disprove—or
prove—the woman's story.
The case is a complicated mix of hard
facts, mysterious occurrences, and uncooperative witnesses. The hotel
refuses to turn over its reservation list and the victim won’t divulge
who she was meeting that night. Add in the facts that the attack
happened months ago, the victim’s memory is fuzzy, and there are holes
in the hotel’s surveillance system, and Veronica has a convoluted mess
on her hands. As she works to fill in the missing pieces, it becomes
clear that someone is lying—but who? And why?
