    With her aunt taking a well-earned break, Abby is juggling two businesses at once—managing Primrose House B&B while growing her new catering company. But when she arrives to deliver lunch to one of her regular clients, she stumbles upon something far worse than an empty stomach. 
     
     
     
    The victim's home has been ransacked, and a valuable artifact stolen. As Abby gets pulled into the investigation, it becomes clear that this isn't just a simple break-in gone wrong—someone in Sugar Creek is willing to kill to keep their secrets safe. But was the murder tied to the stolen treasure . . . or something far more personal? 
     
     
     
    Running a small business is complicated enough—but dating the town's sheriff makes things even trickier. Abby and Ryan are finally together, but that doesn't mean they see eye to eye—especially when her sleuthing starts making headlines. Between managing the B&B, untangling a mystery, and keeping her business afloat, Abby has enough on her plate without also being Sugar Creek's favorite topic of gossip. 
     
     
     
    With friendships tested, old grudges resurfacing, and danger creeping closer, Abby must uncover the truth before she becomes the next piece of Sugar Creek's history to disappear.

    The Paris conference was supposed to be the biggest moment of investment banker Adam Macias's career, a chance to impress his CEO and rub shoulders with their firm's top investors. Instead, Adam arrives at a glamorous rooftop party in time to see his CEO—and his career—go up in flames when a dangerous conflagration interrupts the event. 
     
     
     
    Now Adam is a suspect in the investigation into the life-threatening arson. After all, he'd used his ID to let a suspicious woman past a security checkpoint and up to the roof just moments before the fire broke out. With the French police circling, Adam finds himself suddenly jobless and the one woman who could provide him with an alibi, his best friend and coworker Jenn, isn't returning his calls. 
     
     
     
    Adam knows that only the mysterious woman from the party can save him but, once he finally finds her, he discovers a whole new world of trouble. There's a deadly and powerful syndicate operating in the shadows of the City of Lights, and now that organization has a target on Adam's back. Lucky for him, his new companion has the instincts of a killer . . .

    Her job is to catch a serial killer, she never expected to be covering for one. 
    Detective Emily Sinclair has spent her life chasing justice, but when her childhood best friend Ava is brutalized by men who walk free, Emily is forced to confront a hard truth: the system isn’t broken, it’s working exactly as designed. Money buys verdicts, silence, and the right to destroy lives without consequence. 
    That changes when those untouchable men start turning up dead. 
    As bodies pile up, Emily finds herself erasing evidence, manipulating crime scenes, and walking a line between law and vengeance. She tells herself she’s protecting Ava. That justice, real justice, sometimes requires getting your hands dirty. 
    Then Rookie Detective Ryan Hunter is assigned to her team. 
    What starts as an obligation quickly becomes a complication Emily never saw coming. The more she tries to keep him at arm’s length, the harder she falls. 
    When Ryan gets too close to the truth, Emily begs Ava to stop. But Ava has her own agenda, and Emily begins to fear Ryan won’t just uncover her secret, he’ll become Ava’s next victim. 
    Now Emily must decide how far she will go to protect a friend, and what happens when the person you’re trying to save becomes the monster you can’t control? 
    In a world where trauma breeds violence, Emily is about to discover that sometimes the greatest threat isn’t the guilty, it’s the ones we’re desperate to protect.

    International wine consultant Sarah McKee just got back from a whirlwind European tour, where she tasted more rare wines than most of us can name. But her homecoming in Sonoma has a corkscrew twist: her elderly friend Landon Harris has met an untimely end. Heart attack? Sarah isn’t buying it. Landon had been calling her nonstop while she was in Europe, practically begging her to help him find… something. And now he’s suddenly gone to the big vineyard in the sky? 
    Sarah smells something suspicious—spoiler alert: it’s not the charcuterie plate. When she starts poking around, Landon’s son, the suave but shady Jean-Paul, tells her to back off, and Landon’s loyal assistant is shown the door. Things only get darker from there: an inquest confirms that Landon’s exit was a little more “who dunnit” than “natural causes.” 
    Who could’ve done Landon in—and why? Sarah, of course, won’t let this mystery breathe. Armed with her wine expertise, she teams up with a ridiculously handsome sheriff named Steven Bradley, her best friend Kelley, a trusty bartender named Zach Sullivan, and a cast of quirky Sonoma characters who are as unpredictable as the town’s wine pairings. Together, they start to unravel a juicy web of deceit, greed, and a long-buried secret hidden in an old ghost winery that’s got more skeletons than wine barrels. 
    Now, all Sarah has to do is find Landon’s missing heir before the killer strikes again. But will she and her friends solve the mystery before the killer puts a cork in it? Grab a glass and find out—it’s about to get twisted!
