In the quiet coastal village of Whitecap Harbor, Lily Moreau thought she'd found the perfect escape—a new life as the owner of The Sugar Shell, a charming bakery filled with the scent of warm pastries and sea breeze. But when a stranger's body is discovered near the abandoned lighthouse, the peaceful town is thrown into turmoil, and whispers of old secrets begin to surface.

As suspicion falls on her dear friend Marina, Lily is pulled into a mystery tangled with forgotten deeds, hidden compartments, and grudges buried for generations. With the help of unexpected allies, she must sift through the town's history—one clue at a time—to uncover the truth. But someone will do anything to keep the past hidden, and the closer Lily gets to solving the mystery, the more danger she faces.
