Maddie Graves and Nick Winters are feeling the pull of spring. The only thing hanging over them is wedding plans … until they see smoke in the sky and race to a house to offer rescue.
Instead of the elderly woman they were expecting, Maddie pulls a young teenager from a basement window and stumbles across a mystery that is decades in the making.
The girl has no name, no identity and either can't or won't communicate. She's terrified of every person she comes into contact with … except for Maddie. State social workers are called in, but the young girl seems lost in her own little world.
The owner of the house is found dead inside, but she wasn't killed by the fire. It seems someone wanted her dead for different reasons … and Nick has to figure out exactly who targeted his neighbor and the young girl living in the basement.
The hows and whys are difficult to unravel and when Nick starts uncovering the truth, a dark secret threatens to tear apart multiple families.
The race is on to communicate with the victim, find out who is hunting her, and put together a happily ever after for everyone involved. All Maddie has to do to make sure that happens is to hold it together long enough to fight off a killer and protect her young charge.
That might be harder than she thought. Much, much harder.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
