# If Books Could Kill by Kate Eberle (Paperback)

**THE HOTTEST BOOK OF 2026! IF BOOKS COULD KILL now ready for your summer holiday reading as the 'must have' book of the summer.**

  
**She thought she was in a romance. Fate threw her into a thriller. Will happily-ever-after still be on the cards when fiction and reality blur for Roxie?**  
  
When Roxie makes a tongue-in-cheek wish to live out the plot of her favourite author's next novel, she has romance in mind -- namely, the sweet, safe, swoon-worthy storylines Anna Matthews is known for. It should be a dream come true when her wish is granted by a mysterious busker, and she finds herself swept into a fairy tale first date with a dashing stranger who seems destined to take her breath away.  
  
Except for one little hiccup: that dashing stranger tries to take her breath away. Literally. With a knife. The thing is, Roxie may be the new Anna Matthews protagonist -- but this time, Anna is writing a crime thriller.  
  
Thrown into a perilous genre she's never read, Roxie is desperate for help. So, when her escape from a potential murderer takes her straight into the path of Grant Hoffman -- an anxious English professor with a convenient love of crime novels -- she decides a little light kidnapping is a small price to pay for survival.  
  
Together, Roxie and Grant team up to navigate a madcap story where the lines between fiction and reality blur and find out if they have what it takes to make it to The End -- or maybe even Happily Ever After.  
  
**Perfect for fans of THE FLAT SHARE, IN FIVE YEARS, A NOVEL LOVE STORY and movie hits THE LOST CITY and HIT MAN**
