Some women can't resist bad boys. Zoe Zimmerman can't resist bad numbers. Zoe has spent seven years being professionally likable — the senior consultant who reads paperwork the way other people read faces. Then a routine Luxembourg engagement coughs up an e-signature she never signed, an archive wearing her name, and a firm suddenly very eager to see her gone. Staying in scope was the job. Instead, Zoe does what any self-respecting auditor would do: she follows the money. To a yacht-stuffed marina in Limassol. Into bonded warehouses, records cages, and the orbit of Mateo — a quiet professional whose answer to every dangerous question is "weather." Meanwhile, back home, her mother is running wedding logistics like a military campaign, her father communicates entirely in thumbs-up, and Aunt Syl's voicemails qualify as intelligence briefings. Zoe has spent her career finding the one number that doesn't reconcile. This time, the number is her. A fast, funny international mystery starring a heroine on the run in one borrowed heel, and an aunt who knows nobody ever told the truth to a woman in comfortable shoes. Book 1 of The Zoe Zimmerman Anomalies. Books 2 and 3 are available for preorder now.
