Featuring twin hooks that cozy readers can’t get enough of—classic books and delicious food—this new series from the Agatha Award-winning, nationally bestselling author of several much loved series, including the Fairy Garden Mysteries and the French Bistro Mysteries, is a delicious treat for mystery lovers, especially fans of Ellery Adams, Krista Davis, and Lauren Elliott.

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that a genuinely top-notch party must be in want of a theme. Allie Catt, caterer and personal chef in the beautiful mountain community of Asheville, North Carolina, has devised a winning formula by using her clients’ favorite books as inspiration. Her first themed event is based on Pride and Prejudice (Allie’s cat, Darcy, approves), and it’s so popular that soon she has grand ideas for future parties based on Rebecca, The Great Gatsby, Babette’s Feast and more.

Business is booming, and a rival catering company is fuming. But there’s a sting in the tale when the aunt of one of Allie’s clients and best friends, Tegan, is murdered. Tegan is the victim’s sole heir, and quickly becomes the main suspect. Allie has no doubts about her friend’s innocence, but how to prove it?

Once again, her love of literature comes to the rescue, and with some guidance from her favorite fictional detectives, including Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes, Allie sifts through the clues.

With a little luck—and the kind of pluck that would make Elizabeth Bennett proud—she may be able to stop a killer from serving up a second course of murder . . .

BLURB FROM BOOK 1

Where they rest for eternal life is where a favor is asked.
The stone with the head is where you will be led.
Be certain of the favor you ask, no second is offered.
The debt will be collected when the favor is complete.
A favor asked is a debt owed.

My mom marrying Thomas Valerian was supposed to be our fresh start, but it was the opposite of that.

So far, I’ve been treated like my stepbrother’s new toy, taunted by his friends, and chased by masked men. The leader of the masked men breaks into my room at night, calls me his little witch while ravishing me. Something about him is familiar…

Now my mom has been taken and I’m in debt to the Filthy Few!

BLURB: 

She’s a girl fresh out of juvie, and he’s a boy who never got to speak. Together, they are forbidden, and while he is finding his voice, she discovers her peace.

Broken, and branded a lost cause, with fire in her eyes and a spirit that refuses to die, she is handed a second chance she doesn’t want. She’s adopted into a house with a picture-perfect family. But inside those walls lives an imperfect eighteen-year-old son, who is mute. With no friends and no freedom, the only things he loves are his bike and the long roads he rides. 

He doesn’t need words to haunt her. He doesn’t need to speak to watch her every move. Behind his silence, he is chaos wrapped in ruin, and in her, he sees the same.

They are not blood, but they are forbidden. Together, they are dangerous, drawn by a hunger that shouldn't exist. When engines roar and secrets come to light, their world becomes something violently alive.

“Ride or die. Love with no breaks.”

Either way… someone's going down.

I have it all. Star athlete, popular girlfriend, perfect life.

Then Arkin Reeves moves into my bedroom.

He’s silent, guarded, and haunted by a past I can’t begin to understand.

A past that stole his voice.

My parents say he needs a place to stay.

I say he’s a nightmare who needs to go.

At first, I hate him and the unwelcome emotions he evokes.

He watches me. Always quiet, always there.

And he has his sights set on me.

I thought I could resist this pull between us.

This undeniable attraction that gets under my skin and into my thoughts.
