About the Book

Welcome to Cape Carnage! Visit Once, Stay Forever.

You can hide in the farthest reaches of the deepest hell, and I will still drag you out. Even the devil can’t save you from me.

 

Cape Carnage is a seaside town of colorful houses, quirky shops, and an unusually high body count. But with tourists comes trouble, and Harper Starling won’t let anyone ruin her picture-perfect home. A skilled gardener with killer instincts, Harper protects her sanctuary at any cost—especially for her aging mentor with a fading memory. Troublesome tourists don’t check out of Carnage. They compost beneath Harper’s award-winning flowerbeds.

 

But Nolan Rhodes isn’t your average tourist. Devilishly handsome, disarmingly charming, and skilled with a blade, Nolan is relentless in the pursuit of revenge. On every anniversary of the hit-and-run accident that fractured his life, Nolan slays another target. And he’s saved the best for last: the undeniably beautiful Harper Starling. The problem? Harper isn’t the monster he expected. And she won’t go down without a fight.

 

When an amateur true crime investigator comes to Cape Carnage on the trail of a long-lost serial killer, Harper and Nolan strike an uneasy truce. If Nolan helps Harper protect her town, she’ll keep quiet about his hunting habits . . . for now. But their alliance soon spirals into obsession, one that threatens to shatter every secret in Carnage—including their fragile love.

 

Tourist Season is a darkly funny, slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance where destruction and desire are balanced on the edge of a bladeand where love is the most dangerous battleground of all.

Reviews

“Brynne Weaver is a literary force unlike any other. Tourist Season is an evocative, suspenseful romance that will be sure to grip onto every reader’s imagination and send their pulse skyrocketing. Filled with deliciously dark humor and slow-burn tension, Harper and Nolan’s story was as decadent and twisted as it was human and raw. I had the time of my life reading Tourist Season and will forever read anything Brynne writes.”

- Hannah Bonam-Young, bestselling author of Out of the Woods

“Brynne Weaver returns with another dark yet sweet and sexy romance—liberally spattered with body parts—crafting a fresh, funny tale in a way only she can. Full of heart, twists, and tender moments, Tourist Season delivers exactly what rabid fans of Weaver have come to love about her writing. I am obsessed.”

- Nisha J. Tuli, USA Today bestselling author of Not Safe for Work
