When the local garden club president is killed, food blogger Hope Early will have to dig through the clues to catch a killer . . .

The Jefferson Garden Club’s annual plant sale is just around the corner, but Hope Early and other members of the club are more focused on the garden restoration project at Ambrose House. The gorgeous landscaping promises to help return the stately old house to its former glory, but rumors are surfacing of unexplained delays and exorbitant costs. Then the club’s president is found dead amid signs of foul play, and Hope can’t ignore the uneasy feeling that the victim was silenced for something she knew about the renovations.

Certain that the solution to the murder is tied to the garden project and the club’s recent financial struggles, Hope begins to go through their books and uncovers more than mismatched numbers. A tangle of transactions points to an intricate embezzlement scheme, but before she can weed out who’s behind it, a local reporter chasing the same story is killed. It’s clear now that someone is dead-set on keeping the truth buried, and Hope will have to unearth a vital piece of evidence before the killer decides it’s time to bury her as well . . .

Includes mouthwatering recipes!

BLURB
Maggie Maxwell didn’t mean to become the town’s newest scandal.

But moving into her dead uncle’s haunted manor came with more than creaky headboards—it came with murders. Multiple. Right in her backyard.

And a six-foot-four officer, built like a wall of muscle and her filthiest desires, babysitting her like she’s breakable. He’s brooding, bossy, and overprotective—and Maggie? She’s sworn off quick flings. Especially since her love spell has a new side effect: obsessive, zombie-like exes who abandon their families just to worship the ground she walks on.
Harlow from A.D. Wilde @authoradwilde is coming soon!

HARLOW
Insanity—I can taste it lingering on the tip of my tongue, threatening to slip down my throat and poison me. But my hunger for revenge is relentless. And I’m not leaving this earth until my appetite has been satiated. 

The only problem: I’m being robbed of my sins before I can commit them. And I know exactly who’s to blame.

LYNX
She’s prepared to stain her soul by seeking sweet revenge. And although I enjoy watching her toy with her prey, I won’t allow her to condemn herself to hell for eternity. 

I’ll lurk in the dark, stealing her gratification the way she steals my breath, until every drop of blood of the men who wronged her has run dry. 

After all, monsters like me were built for this.
