About the Book

A murder in Harmony Bay could close her bakery before it even opens.

When Cassie Desmarais inherits her grandmother’s beloved bakery in Harmony Bay, she’s ready to turn the ovens back on and bring the town a taste of nostalgia. But her dreams are threatened when the local health inspector, Marc Hanson, turns up dead—on her property. The whispers start before the body is cold, and soon Cassie finds herself at the center of a chilling mystery.

With the grand opening on the line and suspicion thick in the air, Cassie teams up with her childhood friend Mia and the ruggedly charming Detective Sam Cooper. Together, they dig into Harmony Bay’s past, uncovering old grudges, secret romances, and motives that run deeper than Cassie could have ever imagined.

As the clock ticks down and the heat rises, Cassie must use every ounce of her baking brilliance and newfound detective skills to unmask a murderer and protect the legacy her grandmother left behind. But in Harmony Bay, the sweetest treats often come with the most bitter secrets.
