Welcome back to Silver Pines-where flags line every front porch, neighbors gather for fireworks on the lake, and summer celebrations never stay quiet for long.
Summer has arrived, bringing lakeside mornings, patriotic bunting, and the excitement of Silver Pines' biggest celebration of the year.
Fresh from Susie and Pate's beautiful June wedding, Clare Garner is finally looking forward to a quieter season. With her relationship with Jackson Edwards stronger than ever and life settling into a comfortable rhythm, it feels like everything is finally falling into place. But when a traveling fireworks vendor is found dead, Clare is pulled into a mystery rooted in old regrets, long-buried secrets, and a tragedy that has lingered for years.
As the Fourth of July draws closer, the search for the truth becomes more urgent with every passing day. Can Clare uncover the killer before another life is changed forever-and before the town's brightest celebration is overshadowed by its darkest secret?
If you love charming mountain towns, lovable characters, clean romance, fireworks and summer celebrations, loyal dogs, and mysteries that keep you guessing, you'll feel right at home in Silver Pines.
