    Mia Carina has steered her Italian-American family's Astoria, Queens, catering hall into becoming the borough's premiere party site, and nothing could make her happier—except her boyfriend proposing. There's just one presumed-dead obstacle in the way. 
     
     
     
    A strong, independent woman and respected entrepreneur, Mia never imagined she'd pine for a marriage proposal. Yet lately, with her beloved Shane, she's on tenterhooks. It's especially surprising, considering Mia's first husband, Adam, was a philandering grifter, assumed lost-at-sea after a boating disaster. But everyone knows what happens when you assume. 
     
     
      
    While working a huge wedding expo in Manhattan, Mia is shocked to spot the man who nearly destroyed her life. The one who's supposed to be sleeping with the fishes. But she loses him in the crowd. And when it happens again the next day, it's time for an emergency meeting with the family—and the Family. Because if Adam is alive, Mia is still married. 
     
     
      
    Everyone wants Adam dead. Everyone except Mia. She's dealt with enough police for a lifetime. Mia needs to be a divorcée, not a widow. But someone out there disagrees, and if Mia doesn't discover who, she may never be free to marry Shane.

    🎡 The annual Summer Solstice Carnival in the small town of Pleasant Valley is a highlight of the year, filled with bright lights, cotton candy, and joyful screams. But the fun turns to horror when the carnival's owner, a man as beloved as he was secretly resented, is found dead at the base of the iconic Ferris wheel. The police initially rule it a tragic accident, but local bakery owner and part-time ride operator, Penny Frost, notices the safety harness has been subtly tampered with. When the victim's ledger—a cryptic record of everyone in town who owed him money—goes missing, Penny becomes a target herself. With help from her mischievous terrier, Sprinkles, and the carnival's charming, mysterious new electrician, Penny uncovers a web of secrets under the glittering lights. From rigged game stalls and financial blackmail to a decades-old feud between carnival families, every clue points to a killer who knows the carnival inside and out. As the final night of the carnival approaches, Penny must piece together the puzzle before the killer decides to shut down her investigation for good.
