Status Updates From Guilty Bonds

I will be astonished if this doesn't get my "plot-relies-on-coincidence" tag, and it will probably get "thin-romance" as well. (The MC has fallen instantly in love with a woman he knows nothing about, and she has given him a task which I am 100% confident is a con job on her part, and if she isn't tied up with the mysterious murder that he witnessed by complete coincidence at the start of the book, I'll be amazed.)
