      About This Book

      "Janet Evanovich fans have a new reason to celebrate!" ―Gemma Halliday, best-selling author of Mayhem in High Heels 

      The not-so-proud owner of a dead-end job and a cheating boyfriend,Minneapolitan Mira James jumps at the chance for a fresh start in rural Battle Lake. She immediately regrets her move. That is, until she crosses paths with Jeff, the ultimate sexy small-town guy. When their romance heats up, she thinks she has it made.

      And she does, right up until Jeff turns up dead between the library's reference stacks.

      Anxious to learn more about the man who had briefly stolen her heart, Mira delves into the mysteries of Battle Lake, including an old land deed obscuring ancient Ojibwe secrets, an octogenarian crowd with freaky social lives, and a handful of thirty-something high school buddies who hold bitter, decades-old grudges.

      Mira soon discovers that unknown dangers are concealed under the polite exterior of this quirky town, and revenge is a hotdish best served cold.
