Set in the small town of Deaks Crossing, Holly Daniels has lived there her entire life. She's twenty-four, single, and thrives at her job as the assistant manager of an eclectic gift shop. Holly has two new additions in her life. Richard Nelson, a handsome newcomer to town whose charm incites passion in the beautiful woman for the first time in a long while. Will he stay, or will he shatter her heart?

Holly also has a stalker. Her friends attribute her unproven fear to the books and movies of the murder/mystery genre she so loves. But she's never gotten over the disappearance of a friend and co-worker over a year ago. Could there be a connection? 

A cozy mystery about a young woman who discovered her beloved, older sister, Olivia, had taken her life, leaving no note as to why she'd done it. Devastated by the loss, Avery moved to the other side of the country., leaving behind those who loved her.

Seven years later, seeking to rebuild her life, she returned to the house her mother still lived in. But uppermost in her mind was the driving need to come to terms with the path her sister had chosen. Only then would she be able to find closure, and the peace she'd longed for. 

What she hadn't counted on, was meeting a man like Marcus Beaumont, the  narcissistic, self-absorbed son of a wealthy family. From their first encounter at the local grocers, he'd sent chills up her spine and she rebuffed his advances. However, he wasn't the kind of man who took kindly to being told no. His relentless pursuit of his desires had made him a number of enemies in their community. Many of who would give all they had to see him fall.
