Murder on Maple Lane (The Maple Lane Mysteries Book 1)

A charming small town. A lethal pie contest. A slow-burn romance you’ll root for.

When artisan baker Lila Bennett returns to picturesque Maple Lane to open Sugar Street Bakes, she expects flour-dusted mornings and cozy evenings—not being blamed for the mayor’s sudden death at the Harvest Pie Contest. With gossip rising faster than a sourdough starter, Lila has one chance to clear her name: find the real killer before her dream crumbles.

Enter Thomas Reed, her childhood friend turned guarded local reporter. He’s equal parts skeptical and intrigued, and their playful banter sparks as they sift through secrets, red herrings, and small-town rivalries. From a mysterious break-in at the bakery to a tea thermos that hides more than a comforting brew, Lila and Thomas follow the crumbs to a truth someone will do anything to keep hidden.
