Essentially Sweet Romance

All Stephanie Pierce wanted was a quiet night with her essential oils...not a murder in the hallway and a detective who makes her forget how to breathe. After a long day managing the chaos of her millionaire boss, Stephanie Pierce just wants peace, lavender, and maybe a little control over her perfectly ordered life. Instead, she finds the apartment caretaker dead, her essential oils mysteriously tampered with, and a irresistibly attractive detective determined to keep her safe.

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.

She didn’t mean to fall again. But when love and lemon oil collide, anything can happen. After swearing off heartbreak — and Harper Wasden — Sydney Smith is finally getting her life back together. Until the FBI accuses her of murder, and she’s suddenly on the run with a loyal Pitbull and zero answers. Enter Harper: the one man she never got over… and the only one who believes she’s innocent. Now, with danger closing in, old sparks reigniting, and a lemon-scented mystery she can’t untangle, Sydney must decide if trusting him again will save her — or break her heart for good.

When Olivia Stant-Welsh boards her father’s luxury cruise liner, she’s determined to keep her biggest mistake buried in the past. But when a woman turns up dead—wearing Oliva’s dress, in her car, and carrying her ID—she realizes her secret might have just surfaced.
