The Scythe and the Sparrow. Brynne Weaver

Murder.

Raves.

And a little pepper.

Doctor Finn Kane is running away from unrequited love, hoping to heal his broken heart in a provincial town in Nebraska, as far away as possible from his unmarried and surgical under-career. After all, it is easier to bury his head in the sand, immerse himself in work and completely abandon romantic relationships. Enough of the circus that was in Boston. That is now in the past.

However, in a new place, Finn is caught up in a real circus.

Motorcycle stuntwoman Rose Evans spent ten years traveling as part of the Silveria Circus, and this lifestyle suits her very well - especially considering that she has a tendency to resort to minor murders in her free time. However, one day everything goes awry - instead of helping the victim, Rose seriously injures her leg and ends up stranded in Nebraska, at the home of a charmingly nerdy doctor.

But the thing is, not every broken heart can be mended.

And the longer you stay in one place, the more you risk encountering ghosts from the past.
