A laugh-out-loud cozy rom-com full of small-town secrets, second chances, and sweet suspense!

She came to Montana for family... not a murder investigation, small-town gossip, or a Navy SEAL neighbor who smells like trouble and looks like redemption.

When city girl Beck Graham finally visits her grandmother in a quiet mountain town, she’s expecting homemade pie and peppermint tea—not a body on the front porch and a town whispering about an old legend.

Now, with her grandmother’s mysterious past coming to light under a murder investigation, a war dog at her side, and a disarmingly handsome Navy SEAL neighbor determined to keep her off balance, Beck’s peaceful visit turns into a whirlwind of clues, courage, and chemistry.

As danger closes in, Beck will have to dig deeper than ever—to uncover the truth, confront the legendary villain, and maybe open her heart to the kind of love she stopped believing in.

Listeners are calling it “the perfect blend of laughter, love, and a mystery you’ll actually care about!”
