THE PRINCESS AND THE P.I. by @nikkipaynebooks.bsky.social is the hard-boiled, true-crime-savvy romance you need as the days get colder. Heavy on religious trauma, but also sometimes you have to go undercover as a couple in a sex club. You know, for justice. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/752214...
For justice!!! Thank you so much for a gorgeous review ๐ญ
