A picture-perfect town. A dream derailed. And a killer hiding in plain sight. Ally Fisher arrives in Willow Cove, Maine, with nothing but a bruised heart, a half-dead house plant, and big plans to turn the Whitaker Estate into the coastal wedding venue of her dreams. But when the property’s prickly owner drops dead days before the sale—and Ally’s goldendoodle, Theo, digs up a human bone in the estate’s apple orchard—her fresh start spirals into chaos. Suddenly, Ally’s a suspect in not one, but two suspicious deaths. Her nosy mother won’t stop meddling, her flirty high school almost-crush is now the sheriff investigating her, and a rival venue owner is circling like a shark in heels. As gossip explodes across town and secrets surface like bodies in the orchard, Ally races to unravel a deadly blackmail scheme tied to the town’s past. Because someone killed to keep the truth buried—and they’re willing to kill again. If Ally doesn’t solve the case fast, the next body they find might be hers.
