Faith Franklin thought life at Slice of Paradise was supposed to be about warm cakes, friendly customers, and the comforting smell of something delicious baking in the oven. Then a bitter feud turns deadly, and suddenly everyone has a reason to be nervous. A violent confrontation involving Dean Lomas leaves tempers—and suspicions—running high, while Faith finds herself caught between people with very different ideas about revenge.
When a murder follows, the question isn't simply who had a motive. Someone may have been carefully building an alibi, using anger and confrontation as the perfect distraction. Faith starts noticing details that don't fit, but the more questions she asks, the more dangerous the situation becomes. Even Nathan Edwards, the man she has come to trust, is pulled into the investigation and eventually finds himself accused.
With a killer willing to manipulate suspicion and Faith dangerously close to the truth, her cozy little world is about to become anything but peaceful. Can she uncover the secret behind the crime before the next sweet treat comes with a deadly surprise?
