"Restaurant owner Carly Hale Mitchell has to get her husband off the hook when he’s implicated in the suspicious death of a crooked coworker . . .
When the elderly owner of a historic mansion asks Carly to come visit and make one of her famous grilled cheese sandwiches, Carly can hardly say no. She loves spending time inside the fabled home, and she knows her husband will be at the grand old manse too, rewiring the electrical as part of larger renovations. But sparks fly when he gets into a shoving match with the contractor overseeing the project, and that puts him at the top of the suspect list when the contractor later falls to his death from the roof amid signs of foul play.
Desperate to clear her husband’s good name, Carly puts her restaurant work on the back burner while she tries to track down the real culprit. Thinking it must be someone on the renovation crew or an employee at the mansion, she begins grilling the suspects, only to learn that the victim had enemies throughout the community. Then another dead body is discovered at the mansion, and Carly has to approach the case from a whole new angle—just as the killer is angling to make her the next victim on their list . . ."
"When a fundraiser turns fatal, Carly Hale is confronted by a trail of clues that all point to her mother as the culprit . . .
When the local high school hosts a fundraiser, restaurant owner Carly Hale is happy to sign on and enlists her mother’s help selling her much-loved grilled cheese sandwiches at the school. But no good deed goes unpunished, and the vendor stationed next to them at the event turns out to be aggressively rude and bullies them both. Never one to be pushed, Carly’s mom gives the man a vicious tongue-lashing and assumes that’s the end of it—until later that day when the man is found dead, strangled with her scarf.
With her mom on the hook for murder, Carly has no choice but to find out who killed the man and why. It turns out the victim had always been bad news and had racked up a long list of enemies. One of those enemies may have been the menacing stranger Carly saw lurking on the edges of the fundraiser, but her intuition tells her the murdered man’s girlfriend may have been mixed up in it too. Certain one of them—or both—did the deadly deed, Carly realizes too late that all her sleuthing has landed her next on the killer’s hit list . . .
Includes tantalizing grilled-cheese sandwich recipes!"
"Two rivals. One snowstorm. An unexpected spark.
Arabella
Returning to Bluefern to care for my father wasn’t part of my plan. But here I am, doing my best as the town’s new vet and trying to avoid Rafferty Moon, the one person who knows exactly how to get under my skin. We were high school rivals through and through, constantly competing to be the best. Now he’s the town doctor, and it feels like no time has passed—as if the years haven’t erased the tension that crackles every time we’re in the same room. But when a snowstorm traps us together, I start to see a different side of him, one that I can’t ignore. Maybe he’s not just my old rival; maybe there’s more to him than I ever allowed myself to see.
Rafferty
Arabella Collins. The name alone still stirs something up inside me, something sharp and undeniable. High school was a battlefield, and she was my biggest competition. Now she’s back, all fire and determination, caring for her father and running her vet practice, and somehow, we’re right back to butting heads. But as we’re forced together by circumstances neither of us can control, I begin to wonder if there’s more to her than I thought—more than the smart, ambitious girl I used to try to outdo. I start to see her warmth, her resilience, and suddenly, I want more than just a fleeting spark.
Clashing Moon by USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson is a heartwarming story about letting go of old rivalries to discover a love worth fighting for. Perfect for fans of snowbound small-town romance, enemies-to-lovers, and second chances wrapped in the warmth of home."

Her fiancé, Dylan, accompanies her to the beautiful home of Victor Zalinka—art collector and successful businessman—to select paintings for an art show at the library. While Carrie muses that Victor's home would be the perfect wedding venue, Dylan spots a forgery among the paintings in Victor's collection. Then Martha Mallory is found murdered in her art gallery. With the assistance of Evelyn, the library ghost; the resident cat, Smoky Joe; and the office manager of Dylan’s private investigation company, Carrie comes up with a suspect list long enough to rival the size of an encyclopedia. During her investigation, Carrie stumbles across a terrible truth: Martha’s murder was part of something far bigger and more dangerous than she could have ever imagined. And it all leads back to the art gallery. How far will Carrie go to find the killer and uncover the truth? If the killer finds her first—will Carrie finally be taken out of circulation?"
