Happily Ever Homicide

Juniper Bean has big plans for her writing career. Swoony kisses, sigh-inducing happily ever afters-she's going to write them all. There's just one problem: she can't seem to stop killing off her main characters. After accepting that a genre change is in order, Juniper sets out to do some research. What's the best way to carry a dead body? How exactly does one pick a lock? Juniper is going to find out, with the unwilling help of her new roommate, Aiden. But Juniper's plans go haywire when she stumbles across an actual real-life dead body, and before she knows it, she and Aiden are thrust into the middle of a murder mystery that seems suspiciously tied to Juniper's past. Who killed the girl in the woods? Can Juniper ever get the hang of mystery writing? And, perhaps the biggest question of all, why the heck does Aiden look so good in a tweed jacket?

Heidi Lucy has a secret-a big one. A scary, dangerous, ugly one. There's just one problem: thanks to a mysterious head wound, she can't seem to remember what that secret is. In order to regain her lost memories, Heidi sets out to retrace her steps-followed grudgingly by Soren, a faithful patron of her little bookshop and the less-than-thrilled recipient of the cryptic voicemail she can't remember leaving. But her journey gets derailed when one of Heidi's customers drops dead in the middle of her shop, and it isn't long before both Heidi and Soren come under suspicion. Something fishy is going on in Sunshine Springs, and if they want to find the truth, they're going to have to hunt for it themselves. Who killed the woman in Heidi's bookshop? What secret has Heidi forgotten? And, maybe the most crucial question of all, who gave Soren permission to look so good in a man bun?
