CHOCOLATE COATED HOMICIDE

A Cozy Bakery Mystery Full of Small-Town Secrets, Sinister Sweets, and One Deadly Dessert

Welcome to Sweet River, Vermont—where the maple syrup is rich, the chocolate is dark, and murder is always freshly baked.

When small-town baker Rosie Hart reopens her late grandmother’s beloved shop, Sweet Nothings Bakery, she’s hoping for a fresh start. But when a world-renowned—and infamously arrogant—chocolatier drops dead face-first into a vat of ganache during the Chocolate Jubilee Festival, Rosie’s quiet comeback quickly turns into a full-blown murder mystery.

Now she’s juggling maple scones, nosy neighbors, and one sinfully attractive small-town reporter who never forgot her high school kiss.

With her best friend hiding secrets, her town’s reputation on the line, and a killer still at large, Rosie must sift through layers of cocoa-dusted clues and powdered lies before someone else gets iced.

Because in Sweet River, the only thing more dangerous than a secret ingredient…
is someone willing to kill for it.
