"An awesome page-turner that left me breathless!!!" – 5-Star Review

Reporter C.J. Pulaski and small-town police chief Nate Cole mix like oil and water.

After being fired from a prestigious Seattle newspaper, C.J. returns to her hometown of Paradise Falls in disgrace. Rock bottom is her new reality, and she'll stop at nothing to find her next big story to reclaim her career. Desperate for a lead, she turns to her father's Trench Coat Brigade—a quirky crew of geriatric amateur sleuths with a knack for solving mysteries, meddling, and matchmaking.

Nate left the chaos of the LAPD after the death of his partner, seeking solace in the slow pace of Paradise Falls. As chief of police, the quiet life has been a balm to his wounded soul—until a skeleton is unearthed, thrusting him into a decades-old murder mystery. Between managing the persistent meddling of the Trench Coat Brigade and the fiery, relentless reporter on his heels, Nate's life is anything but peaceful.

C.J. has always been laser-focused on journalism. Love and commitment have never been part of her plan. But as she and Nate team up to solve the mystery, sparks fly, and she begins to question everything she thought she wanted.

When faced with the choice between the career she's fought for and the man who makes her heart race, will C.J. risk it all for love?
