Mia

Never been kissed at twenty-nine? Check.

Running a failing historic inn? Double check.

Finding a dead body in the parlor after my first (and possibly best) kiss ever? Just my luck.

I'm Mia Collins, and between hiding the Inn's financial troubles from my parents and trying to keep the family inn afloat, I didn't expect my first foray into romance to come with a side of murder.

Now I'm stuck between proving my innocence and dealing with the infuriatingly handsome stranger from last night who keeps showing up everywhere I turn.

I've made millions turning failing businesses around, but nothing prepared me for Lakeside Inn's quirky owner. She's brilliant, beautiful, and completely clueless about who I really am.

When a guest turns up dead and my one-night-almost-fling turns out to be my new client, I realize this consulting job just got a lot more complicated.

Between unraveling the inn's finances and solving a murder, I'm breaking my one rule: never mix business with pleasure.

But there's something about Mia that makes me want to break all my rules...

In this charming small-town romantic mystery, two unlikely sleuths discover that love and murder might just be the perfect partnership - even if it wasn't exactly what they signed up for.
