Essentially Sweet Romance

Have you ever had a day that made you want to curl up with coffee and essential oils? Me too, but all I get is a body in the stairwell, and a handsome detective who makes putting a full sentence together an impossibility. Someone is after my beloved essential oils. Or are they after me? The real question is, will I survive long enough to make that detective fall for me?

There’s no way I can resist heading out to Gran’s Montana ranch when she contacts me out of nowhere. Not when my mother is the only family I’ve ever known. Not even with the shiver of apprehension running down my spine when I drive through the huge timber gates. That feeling is never wrong, though, and now I’m here alone. Who killed Gran? I can’t believe the town legend of a mysterious creature, but there was that strange smell....

I’m the top female sharp-shooter in the US, so it makes sense, I guess. Only I didn’t do it. Running is my only option in order to figure who framed me, and exactly what happened in that Cincinnati hotel room. But I’m trapped here in the city, incapable of producing an alibi, when all I want is the wide-open fields of Montana. Oh, and Harper Wasden, the Navy Seal who stole my heart the second I laid eyes on him.

Escaping myself in order to survive the date that almost killed me last year is imperative. Daddy's ship is the perfect place to do it, with no reminders of the past or familiar faces. But finding a body in my car just before boarding is no help at all. Especially since she’s dressed just like me, designer nails and all.
