Book 4 Coming Soon!
Love, Spies, and a Body in the Kitchen
Family drama, political scandal, and a dash of international espionage… Mallory Hemingway’s hard-earned new life just went up in flames.
When her parents land on her doorstep uninvited, Mallory braces for the usual family chaos. What she doesn’t expect is a political firestorm, whispers of her father’s old enemies, and the creeping sense that everyone’s keeping something from her. Her dad’s mayoral campaign is heating up, her mother’s caught in the political crosshairs, and powerful enemies seem to be circling.
Her parents’ quick escape to Key West is supposed to take the heat off, but trouble follows them right to Mallory’s doorstep, entangling her in a web of secrets. And it’s not just her father hiding things—her boyfriend has a few secrets of his own, sparking tension in their brand-new relationship. When dangerous figures from her dad’s past resurface and the family’s longtime maid turns up with a knife in her chest, Mallory’s tropical paradise turns into a nightmare.
Determined to uncover the truth, Mallory teams up with her hunky boyfriend Huck, her evasive father, and her ride-or-die friends, Juni and Ernie. But between old grudges, a ruthless political rival, and a mysterious figure stalking her family, the hunt for a killer takes a perilous turn—one that leads straight to Cuba.
With love on the line and danger closing in, Mallory will have to trust the people she cares about…even if they’re the ones holding the biggest secrets of all.

Death, crop circles, and one very inconveniently attractive distraction…Mallory Hemingway dreams of becoming a serious journalist, but for now, she’s stuck answering phones for a sexist boss, dating a guy who loves himself more than her, and wondering if this is really all life has to offer.
When a hot tip about a crop circle leads her to a gruesome murder scene, Mallory sees her chance to break a real story—if she doesn’t get herself killed first. Between nosy neighbors, corporate corruption, and a mystery that keeps getting twistier, she barely has time to mourn her train-wreck of a relationship.
But one unexpected complication? The infuriatingly charming man who keeps crossing her path. He might be a suspect. He might be her next mistake. Either way, he’s a distraction she doesn’t need… or maybe exactly what she does.
If Mallory makes it out of this mess alive, she’s leaving town for good. No more dead-end jobs, no more bad boyfriends, and definitely no more murder. Probably.
