Synopsis

A beachside wedding. A groom lost to the waves. And a café owner who refuses to let the truth drift away.

Escape to Charm, North Carolina—where coastal breezes carry deadly secrets, and every clue is served with a slice of Southern sweetness. This witty, twisty, sun-drenched cozy mystery is perfect for fans of Laura Childs, Kate Carlisle, and readers who crave beachside suspense with a comforting heart.

Everly Swan is used to multitasking—iced tea, scones, and small-town drama—but catering her friend’s wedding should be the easy part. Until the groom washes ashore and scandal crashes the celebration.

With her best friend under suspicion, Everly jumps into the investigation against the wishes of the frustratingly attractive Detective Grady Hays. But between nosy neighbors, hidden motives, and threats brewing beneath the surface, she’ll need every ounce of courage—and a little help from her eccentric great-aunts—to uncover the truth.

Includes recipes straight from Everly’s kitchen!
