Murder at Maisie's #1

Welcome to Silver Pines where the coffee’s strong, the locals are quirky, and even the furniture has secrets.

After years away, Clare Garner is back in her hometown, happily restoring antique pieces and running her family’s furniture gallery. With her high school sweetheart, Jackson Barrett, by her side and a big corporate project on the horizon, life is finally falling into place.

That is, until Blake Catalano—her swoon-worthy college ex—waltzes back into town with a smile and something he’s definitely not telling her.

Things take a sharp turn when a body turns up, and suddenly both Blake and Jackson are suspects in the murder. With tensions rising and the rumor mill in overdrive, Clare must untangle the mystery—before someone else takes a permanent break from small-town charm.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, small-town drama, and mysteries wrapped in charm, Murder at Maisie’s is the cozy escape you’ve been craving.

Murder in the Garden #2

Spring has sprung, and so has Silver Pines' latest scandal.

Spring in Silver Pines means bunting on Main Street, garden plots in full bloom, and just enough small-town chaos to keep things interesting. Clare Garner’s juggling custom furniture orders at The Mill and doing her best to referee the rising tension between her high school sweetheart, Jackson, and her recently re-rooted college ex, Blake.

But when a local green thumb turns up toes-up in the community garden, Clare finds herself knee-deep in a mystery that’s more tangled than last year’s Christmas lights. With her love life sideways and a mystery sprouting like weeds, Clare’s got to find the truth—before someone else gets pruned from the picture.

Between nosy neighbors, whispered rivalries, and a killer hiding in plain sight, Clare will need more than sandpaper and sass to keep things from falling apart. In Silver Pines, the flowers aren’t the only things ready to bloom—so are the secrets.

Murder Over Coffee #3

Iced lattes, awkward exes, and one unexpected murder—just another summer in Silver Pines.

Summer’s on the way in Silver Pines, and things should be heating up in all the right ways—sunny days, fresh blooms, and steady progress at The Mill, where Clare Garner is finally catching her breath after two back-to-back murder cases. Her custom furniture orders are flowing in and she’s learning to navigate the comfortable, if complicated, rhythm of life between Jackson Barrett and Blake Catalano—two kindhearted men who both know her better than she sometimes knows herself.

But when a coffee world insider winds up dead mid-sip at an iced coffee tasting hosted by the Sunrise Sips Coffee Club, the summer vibe curdles—and Clare is once again caught in a swirl of secrets and suspicion.

With the rumor mill spinning faster than a ceiling fan in July and secrets tucked behind every hedgerow, Clare finds herself juggling gossip, romance, and a growing list of suspects. Between poring over clues, dodging well-meaning matchmakers, and trying not to spill sawdust on her favorite sundress, she’ll need all her intuition—and maybe a few iced lattes—to figure out who’s hiding what.

Because in Silver Pines, the charm’s brewed just right—but the secrets tend to spill over like a clumsy barista.
