The first book in a new cozy mystery series where you’ll find plenty of small-town charm and big-time crime.

But when a high-society gala at the Beauregard Mansion ends with a murder and the theft of the priceless Magnolia Rose necklace, Parker’s peaceful new life quickly becomes as frothy as a latte.
Desperate for answers, Jackson Beauregard enlists Parker to dust off her sleuthing skills and solve the crime. As she juggles the chaos of renovating her new cafe and adjusting to small-town life, Parker dives into a mystery steeped in secrets, lies and scandalous crimes.
