Everyone loves a good wedding–and a good mystery. Combine the two and what do you get? Malice, Matrimony, and Murder!

Over two dozen authors have teamed up to offer you this wedding-themed collection of brand-new cozy mystery and cozy crime fiction stories that will keep you wondering whodunit and what’s next from the first page to the last. Between bad bridesmaids, conniving caterers, greedy guests, ill-mannered in-laws, savvy sleuths, and vengeful villains, this anthology has it all! All of the stories are clean and fun, with a general feel-good tone. If you read to be entertained, surprised, and uplifted, then this collection is for you!

Plus, the anthology as a whole contains an overarching wedding whodunit woven throughout. As you’re reading, collect the clues, identify whodunit, and access a special ebook filled with bonuses and extras. Inside you’ll find recipes, character interviews, bonus stories, and more!

If you’re drawn to shorter mysteries that are light on gore and language, and high on humor, entertainment, and happy endings, then you don’t want to miss out on Malice, Matrimony, and Murder. But this collection is only available for a limited-time, so grab it now before it’s gone forever!

Welp....this will be a live release and hope they don’t block it again. The upside I guess is that I got my preorder rights back.
So if you preordered...I’m sorry. Guess the interior contents were too much for whatever asshole read it and decided it would be a good idea to remove it and block it.
I’m over it. There has to be a better way....KOBO is looking more and more enticing everyday...and come to find out. It’s cheaper for readers to have a subscription there.
I love writing and basically do this full time even though I have a fulltime job. Listen....if you know me...you know I never sleep. I just don’t know how much longer I can go on like this.
If you love my books...this one is WILD...so when it releases...download. Shout it from the rooftops. I lost everything bc of this block. And now I’m left fucked. So yea Happy Freaking Tuesday.
I’ll let ya know when it goes live. If Amazon continues to be a fucknut I will have it for sale on my website. Until then we wait.
Again I’m sorry this has happened. I don’t like disappointing any of my readers but this is the 3rd book and I’m at my wits end with Amazon.
Sit tight my little creatures. We will figure this out one way or another!

BLURB

They were, by all accounts, the picture-perfect couple. Then, Raze’s betrayal—a wound of the deepest kind—shattered Bailey’s world, and he vanished like a cloud of smoke. Bailey’s broken heart, seeking solace, found an unexpected haven in the arms of someone she had long considered off-limits.
Yet, when a long-kept secret, meticulously hidden from her, finally surfaced, Bailey was torn. Would she honor the call of what’s right or surrender to the intoxicating, dangerous dance of family loyalty and chaos? The solid ground of her former life was already dissolving. The familiar lines of her existence blurred, smudged by hushed confessions and stolen glances that promised both rapture and ruin.
Now, with Raze’s sudden return, the chaos was no longer a contained tempest; it was a raging hurricane. Bailey was caught between two men whose desires, as potent as they were treacherous, tore her apart in opposing, ruinous directions.
The true question wasn’t who she would choose, but how much of herself she was willing to lose in the process. The combined presence of her men, intricately woven with secrets and danger, presented a challenge that transcended her heart, threatening to redefine her entire existence.
The choices ahead weren’t about right or wrong, but about survival, and discovering who she was becoming in this whirlwind of conflicting desires and unfolding darkness.
