Summary

New York Times–Bestselling Author: A young woman marries into a business dynasty—but is she driven by passion or profit? 
 
The oldest son of the rich and powerful Donners, Jonathan prefers to remain a playboy rather than take over the financial and social responsibilities of his family’s business empire. But in a near-fatal skydiving accident, Jonathan saves the life a radiant young woman, Nicole Pierce. Captivated by her beauty and intrigued by her mysterious past, Jonathan is determined to make Nicole his. After a whirlwind romance, the two elope and begin a long Caribbean honeymoon. 
 
Returning to the Donner estate, Nicole is immediately embraced by the family. For Jonathan’s father and younger sister, she’s a breath of fresh air. But not everyone has fallen for her. His dominant and powerful mother, Alexandra, believes the newest member of the family is more interested in money than in her son. 
 
Then Jonathan dies during a scuba diving trip and Nicole returns to the family’s compound a young and tragic widow. But Nicole’s mother-in-law thinks her son’s death was no accident . . .

    🍲 When the town's most competitive cook, Betty Crockwell, collapses face-first into her famous green bean casserole at the annual church potluck, everyone assumes it's a tragic accident. But café owner and amateur chef Daisy Dish suspects foul play when she notices the casserole tastes... unusual. With the police dismissing her concerns and the town eager to move on, Daisy must take matters into her own oven mitts. Teaming up with the church's new young pastor and her gossipy baking club, Daisy investigates a simmering pot of small-town rivalries, secret recipes, and long-buried resentments. From a suspiciously perfect pie crust to a casserole dish that doesn't match the victim's usual set, every culinary clue points toward a killer who knows their way around a kitchen. But as Daisy gets closer to the truth, the killer serves up a warning: a threatening note tucked into her own recipe box. Now Daisy must uncover which of her neighbors added a deadly ingredient to the potluck before she becomes the next course on the menu.
