In Sunrise City, the flowers are killer, the secrets are thorny, and laughs are always in season.
Running a flower stand was never in my life plan—especially since I always assumed “full sun” was a vacation preference, not a plant’s growing condition.
But here I am, Dove Davis, back in my hometown after trading designer fashion for dirt-covered gardening gloves. My grandma Sharon—a persnickety powerhouse of sass and stubbornness—recently acquired a run-down campsite, and somehow, I got roped into managing the flower stand. I figured it’d be a quiet life. Peaceful. Low stakes.
Then my dog, Ladybug, sniffed out a body in a sunflower patch. So much for that.
The victim? A talented florist who was last seen crafting boutonnieres for an extravagant high-society wedding. Now, the only thing blooming faster than town gossip is my suspect list. With the help of my new friend Rose—who is definitely…not…a jewel thief—we crash the wedding to root out a killer hiding among the guests. But as we dig deeper, we uncover secrets more twisted than a vine…and someone willing to kill to keep them buried.
Armed with my grandma’s gardening tools, an eye for detail, and a very nosy dog, I’m determined to weed out the murderer. But if I’m not careful, I might end up pushing daisies myself.
Grab your gardening gloves and dig into the first book of the Sunrise Flower Shop Cozy Mystery series!
Expect a charming small town, an over-the-top wedding, and a colorful cast of characters—including one very opinionated grandma.
A beachside brunch cafe, delicious cocktails…and a dead body!
When I left the big city, I thought l’d leave my worries behind. But soon after I return to my small hometown, an ex-boyfriend is found dead. Before you ask, I didn’t do it! I wasn’t surprised, though. He had muddled his money with the wrong people.
Now, I’m balancing bartending, rekindling my acting career, and trying to leave my past behind. Luckily, I have an adorable and rambunctious puppy by my side to sniff out the red herrings. Romantic sunset strolls on the beach with a handsome newcomer don’t hurt either.
When I start getting threatening messages from my ex-boyfriend’s enemy, my life is on the rocks.
I’m mixed into a cocktail of intrigue and mystery, and I’m going to serve it straight up.
A magical resort. Enchanted coffee. And one very inconvenient body.
I’m Coral Lake, proud owner of Magic Brew, a coffee shop in Desert Spell—a sunny little town with more secrets than spells. My dream? Serve the perfect cup of coffee, with just a dash of magic. My reality? A customer drops dead mid-sip, and I’m suddenly the prime suspect.
Once upon a time, I worked at my sister’s luxurious magical resort—until she fired me. Now it’s just me, my grumpy talking crow, and enough coffee beans to keep the whole town buzzing. My detective brother insists I should stick to lattes and leave the sleuthing to him, but I’m not about to let a murderer roam free.
Between a mysterious newcomer, an unexpected spark of romance, and a caffeine supply that could wake the dead, my cauldron is bubbling over. But if I can stir in just the right blend of courage and magic, I might clear my name—and turn Desert Spell back into the magical oasis it’s meant to be.
Love small towns full of secrets, talking animal sidekicks, and a sleuth who won’t quit? Magic Brew has just the cup for you—quirky locals, magical surprises, and a latte strong enough to solve a murder included.
