(This book can be read as a standalone, but it contains spoilers for Murder With a Hint of Pumpkin Spice.) 'Tis the season for murder. With her book store safe from closing and her name cleared of murder charges, Harper Coleman is ready to shelve her problems—until her cheating ex-fiance comes to town. When he refuses to accept Harper is over him, Sebastian steps in as her temporary Mr. Right to prove her ex wrong. After another suspicious death occurs in Whisper Hollow, Harper and Sebastian’s seemingly-innocent lie becomes their alibi, and they have to fake a relationship or face murder charges. Now they’re stuck with their charade until they find the murderer. Strangely enough, convincing the town gossips of their love story proves easier than uncovering clues. As the danger increases, Sebastian takes the protective boyfriend act to the next level, leaving Harper struggling to determine truth from fiction, both with his feelings and hers. Can Harper learn to trust another man with her heart—and her life? Check out the second Whisper Hollow Cozy Mystery book, where the magic of Christmas mixes with a dash of danger. It’s the perfect read to curl up with by a fire on a snowy winter night.
